Extractions: A divinity Mr. Moffett is not, though to those gifted few he spends time with each summer, his expertise feels like divine intervention. A renowned jazz trumpeter and former band leader at the famed Blue Note Club in New York City, Mr. Moffett dedicates two weeks of his life each year to provide guidance to the musically aspiring. "I get letters all year from the week at camp," says Mr. Moffett, who lives in West Orange. "They write me with problems: 'I'm playing in the jazz band, I'm taking this solo and I think the key is B flat. I play this note and I think it's a blues structure — what should I do?' So, I write back, 'Well, think rhythmically.' It's gratifying when you feel like you're making a contribution and really helping."

Larry, of Napa, Calif., who entered Princeton after graduating from Shaker Heights [Ohio] HS, died Sept. 27, 2002, from a ruptured aortic aneurysm.

He was in the Woodrow Wilson School and belonged to Terrace Club. He received his JD from the U. of Michigan, and practiced law in the Cleveland area for 25 years with the law firm Malitz and Barker. He also started a merchant banking firm, Gray Industries. His friends at Princeton always remember Larry as someone upon whom they could rely when they needed help. His business and law practice clients felt the same way. Larry moved to Napa in 1988, when he retired from his law practice but continued his work in merchant banking. He bonded closely to the community in Napa and co-authored a book, Napa Valley, about the people of the area and their environmental and community activities.

Erick Friedman 3 THE VIOLINPLAYING OF erick friedman a technical analysis by Stephen Redrobe Iwrite this as a technical analysis rather than as an essay in musical http://www.stephenredrobe.com/html/erick_friedman_3.html
Extractions: In reading the vast majority of published reviews of violin concerts and recordings, it often becomes immediately apparent that the writer is quite musically knowledgeable but has little understanding of the art of the sheer mechanics of violin playing. It can be most perplexing to see, for example , spiccato confused with sautillé, martélé with staccato, or saltato with ricochet. As the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein said "Whereof one knows nothing; thereof one should remain silent". I shall do my best to keep this in mind. As a student Mr Friedman was fortunate enough to have been the beneficiary of the finest training in the history of violin playing. Most violin aficionados willl be familiar with the Russian, Franco-Belgian and German "schools" of violin playing.. Mr Friedman studied in an environment which gave him the very best of all these "schools" yet he never studied in any of these countries.
