Extractions: The greatest physicist of the 20th Century. His ideas revolutionized our entire understanding of the universe. Einstein changed the course of science as much as did Copernicus, Newton and Darwin. His fundamental contribution was the theory of relativity. This has many facets, but for most people the theory means that the faster you travel (approaching the speed of light), the more time slows down. He also was responsible for the formulation E=MC , which describes the relationship between mass and energy. A little mass can give off a lot of energy. Among other things, this formula accounts for the tremendous explosive force given off by an atomic bomb. After his theories gained prominence, Einstein was appointed professor of theoretical physics at the University of Zurich and at the University of Prague. In 1913, he was appointed director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Physical Institute in Berlin. In 1921, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his research of the photoelectric effect.

Extractions: HH : I was surely most influenced by my two teachers Klara Berkovich in Baltimore, from age five to ten, and Jascha Brodsky in Philadelphia, from age ten to 17. Both were very demanding teachers, but very kind, superb violinists: musicians of style and taste who allowed no technical shortcuts. I was extremely lucky to grow up under their guidance. HH : It gives young players and old ones, for that matter an opportunity to see that they are part of a long and very rich tradition of violinists, each of whom played differently, each of whom played effectively. And for those who are studious, it is a great resource for studying the technique of playing the violin. Nearly every school, every body type, every possible manner of holding the violin and bow is represented.

Interview - Antal Szalai My father is also a violinist. He plays traditional Hungarian gypsy music who was the teacher of Jascha Heifetz, Nathan Milstein, mischa elman, etc. http://www.webconcerthall.com/interview/antal.htm
Extractions: Home About Publications Contact Interview Education Production Interview with Antal Szalai (Violin) The Winner of 2002 International Web Concert Hall Competition (Honorary Mention) Antal, what violin do you use? The violin I use is an 18th century Italian instrument. It is a great violin and I have been playing it for the past four years... and I use a bow that was made by Kittel. What is your concert schedule like? In Hungary, there are very few concert agencies and they almost never undertake exclusive managements of any individuals. This is the reason why my concert activity is not balanced throughout the year... sometimes I have a lot of concerts in a short period of time, sometimes I don't have any concerts for 2-3 months or more... My concerts are scheduled based on needs of soloist, that is, orchestras and concert organizers look for me directly when they need a violin soloist. For example, the MATAV Hungarian Symphony Orchestra... in November, I have three concert tour in Germany. I will be playing Paganini concerto in D major and Mendelssohn concerto in E minor at the Great Hall of the Cologne Philharmonie. Where do you live now (as of October 2002)?
Extractions: Corey Cerovsek and Maxim Vengerov by Anthony Guneratne Most musical instruments live in constant anxiety. It is rumored that a piano-tuner once reported that whenever his notoriously finicky Steinways resisted tempering he had only to whisper the name of Vladimir Horowitz to have all the strings simultaneously quiver into tune, and I myself have seen a mature, sturdy Bösendorfer tremble at the approach of Lazar Berman. Left: Paganini's "Canone" Not so the stringed instruments. The recently deceased novelist Mario Puzo might have celebrated the misdeeds of the Corleones in his Godfather novels, but in terms of capacity for intrigue the Corleone family have been amateurs in comparison to the string family. Anton Chekhov, a great music-lover, was among the first to recognize that when a princess and a musician have to be brought together in a comic romance, one should leave the necessary ruses up to a member of this family (hence the enduring charm of Romance With a Double Bass ). Stringed instruments have hatched plots that have lasted centuries: by about 1650, for instance, they decided to transform the small Italian village of Cremona into a factory for their own manufacture. The sweet-toned instruments made by Niccolò Amati (1596-1684), the bright, beautifully-balanced sound of those fashioned by Antonio Stradivari (1644-1737), and the character and tonal variety of those of Bartolomeo Guarneri (1698-1744), have never been equalled by those made anywhere else.

Extractions: Some years later, in October 1917, every soloist in New York turned out to witness the US debut of the phenomenal Jascha Heifetz, still only 16. Leopold Godowsky, a pianist so prestidigitatious he would play two Chopin waltzes at once, sat beside the universally famous Russian violinist, Mischa Elman. Yet, in the past year the LSO dipped once more into the red, embarrassed by the inexplicable reluctance of lottery funders to give adequate support to its vision of converting the bombed-out Hawksmoor church of St Lukes into a multicultural, interactive education centre. The deficit is now being patched by private donations and an Education Department grant but once he has rebalanced the books Gillinson, 58, may be forgiven for turning his back on the sisyphean struggle and joining a hall where he need never again have to entertain compromise. Carnegie Hall is today exactly what it was endowed to be in 1891 by Andrew Carnegie, the Scots-born steel magnate who gave away $350 million to philanthropic causes in his lifetime, and the remaining $300 million at his death. The hall cost a mere two million dollars to build but its cachet was instantaneous. Tchaikovsky sailed over for the opening festival and the greatest musicians have regarded Carnegie ever since as their American gateway. No pianist would dream of opening a tour in Boston or Los Angeles.No place on earth has attracted a greater concentration of musical talent. Kreisler and Heifetz knew all too well that a recital Carnegie was make or break, no place to hide.
Leopold Godowsky - Humor violinist mischa elman called round after an exceptionally successful tour andasked Godowsky excitedly to guess how much money he had made. http://www.godowsky.com/Biography/humor.html
Extractions: Wit and Wisdom selected by Jeremy Nicholas Many so-called humorous remarks by celebrated musicians fail to raise even a watery smile. Godowsky was well known for his waspish sense of humour and many of his witticisms and sagacious remarks have passed into musical folklore. Surprisingly, perhaps, the majority have stood the test of time and remain genuinely amusing. Among these is one of the most famous of all music-related anecdotes. You can find the full account of this story as the final item in this brief collection. Here for your enjoyment, in no particular order, are some of Godowsky's bon mots Oscar Levant, the pianist, composer, wit, actor and raconteur recalled in his autobiographical volume Memoirs of an Amnesiac the occasion when a film director asked him to include in a speech a quip made by Godowsky: "I don't like to go to concerts because if they're good, I'm jealous; if they're bad, I'm bored." (Levant actually refused to say the words unless he could attribute them to their author.) Godowsky moved with his family from Vienna to New York in 1914. Their first home was the Plaza Hotel. Bechstein provided Godowsky with two grands, replaced free of charge every year, and of course these had to be accommodated in his apartment. As the moving men panted and strained to move the two latest instruments, one of them paused in his efforts, mopped his brow and told their owner exactly what he thought of having to lug heavy concert grands about. "What are you complaining about?" laughed Godowsky. "You only have to move pianos. I have to move audiences."
Extractions: "It was Louis Kaufman, perhaps more than any other single performer, who gave American film music its voice." Now available as a book and as a spoken word CD, this fascinating memoir, written by one of the greatest American violinists of the twentieth century, recounts an extraordinary life in music. Once called by the New York Times "a violinist's violinist and a musician's musician," Louis Kaufman was born in 1905 in Portland, Oregon. He studied violin with Franz Kneisel at New York's Institute of Musical Art. He was the original violist of the Musical Art Quartet (1926–1933) and won the Naumburg Award in 1928, the year of his American solo recital debut in New York's Town Hall. During these early years, he played chamber music with Pablo Casals, Mischa Elman, Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, Gregor Piatigorsky, and Efrem Zimbalist, among others.

Extractions: I found this one of the most enjoyable rock videos I have ever watched. Several groups of the 60s and 70s appeared occasionally with symphony orchestras, and this had been a dream of the long running Yes for some time. It finally happened in 2002 and this is both the video and audio record of it. Because of time constraints the DVD has 14 tracks and the CD only 10, leaving out the terrific two solos by guitarist Steve Howe, and also the title tune from their Magnification album. But it enables one to hear the music in your car, computer, or on your portable player. This is trend happening with more and more DVDs lately and very sensible it is. It may have to be done with more DVD-Audios if that format wants to meet the competition of the hybrid SACDs.
Bronson Piano Studio 05/18/01, violinist William Barbini in Recital, Mozart Society of California in the 1960 s at Carnegie Hall by someone of the stature of mischa elman. http://www.bronsonpianostudio.com/reviews/051801r1.htm
Extractions: The event was a fundraiser for the Mozart Society of California held at the fabulous Pebble Beach home of Jean Hurd. Simply stated, Mr. Barbini just blew us out of the water. Not only was this masterful artistic playing of the highest order, but also there was an additional high voltage factor of extraordinary passion and commitment in his playing that made it so compelling.
