My father (may he rest in peace) played the violin from
early childhood, and as a young adult he played with the St. Louis Symphony
until his family responsibilities forced other career choices. Growing up, I
was exposed to quite a bit of classical music, and studied classical piano for
many years. The name Jascha Heifetz was very familiar to all of us kids; he was
always the person to whom other violinists were compared. So when I found the
video of his performance of the Tchaikovsky violin concerto, I just had to
share that. In my haste to post this morning I had left out this detail.
