Ferris mentions the necessity of selecting those whose careers have reached completion, thereby emphasizing the lasting impact of these musicians on the art of performance. He accounts for the significant advancements made in violin-making and performance during the golden ages of composers and craftsmen, setting the stage for detailed biographical profiles that delve into the lives, triumphs, and struggles of these musical titans, demonstrating how their remarkable journeys correlate with the broader history of music itself.
