Excerpt from With the Artists: World Famed String Players Discuss Their Art
About ten years ago, a group of musicians, among them two world famed Violinists, met at our home for an evening of chamber music. Fol lowing our performance of a late Beethoven Quartet, we discussed the fingering and phrasing of some of the difficult passages. One of the artists turned to me and said that it might be extremely interesting if I were to discuss these same passages with other artists who might soon be visiting us. We could then write their views on the various aspects of string technic.
This was the germination of an exciting project. It led to ten years of exalted experiences with the world''s great string players and teachers; to provocative, fascinating discussion and analysis with them of the most important problems of playing and teaching, from the holding of the instrument and bow to the most advanced complexities of technic and interpretation.
