Introduction
Abstract
The introduction establishes the theoretical framework that underpins the author’s narrative of the historical development of bowed strings in jazz within the United States. This section elucidates the philosophical predispositions, outlines three cognitive science perspectives on the categorization of cultural forms, expounds on the book’s organizational structure (progressing from specific instruments to ensembles), and incorporates personal insights into the motivations and objectives for undertaking this study.
