A Complete History of the Violinist-Composer
Below is a relatively comprehensive list of violinist-composers throughout history, including their country of origin, notable teachers where relevant, and the kinds of repertoire they composed revolving mainly around ensemble type. Admittedly, the farther back in time this list goes, the less accurate it inevitably becomes because of how much music has been lost from the early 17th century. A fair number of examples had to be left off the list because I could not confirm the existence of works attributed to them.
Some facts
Here are the number of violinist-composers identified from each century:
39 born in the 17th century
93 born in the 18th century
100 born in the 19th century
32 born in the 20th century
1 born in the 21st century
Among these violinist-composers, 41 are German, 44 French, and 50 are Italian. the other 130 vary broadly in country of origin.
