Subcategory: American Musician
|  The violinist is that peculiarly human phenomenon distilled to a rare potency - half tiger, half poet. | | I can only think of music as something inherent in every human being - a birthright. Music coordinates mind, body and spirit. | | The violinist must possess the poet's gift of piercing the protective hide which grows on propagandists, stockbrokers and slave traders, to penetrate the deeper truth which lies within. | | Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous. |
