Abstract	:	Over the past 150 years, the European violin has grown from a new import to a fundamental fixture in the Arab music of Egypt. Due to the violin's history, physical attributes, and symbolic importance, violinists regularly work between categories often set in opposition, especially Western classical and Arab musics. In this dissertation, I argue that it is this very in-betweenness that makes the violin a powerful tool for Egyptian violinists and composers. Through a series of biographies organized historically, I show how violinists have infused the instrument with different clusters of meaning, performing complex senses of identity and complicating musical categories in the process.
