The Art of Violin-Pt 2: Transcending the Violin: Styles (9)

poseuresque: clearly you are taking the opportunity to put the boot in to Hahn, and you are twisting her words. When commenting on Kogan, she said he looked "panicked", but WENT ON to say his playing didn't sound that way, implying he sounded excelllent. She is by no means shallow as numerous interviews with her show. If you do not like her playing that is fair enough, but don't please don't twist her words to suit your prejudice. Thank you.

i get the idea that hahn's a shallow girl, or just superficial by design, in the most literal usage of the term: each of her comments deals with an image, appearances, nothing else. no substance. just like her playing.

Completely true what Perlman says in the beginning!

hahahahhahahaahahahahahahahah. .!!!!

Lol uncomfortable...

it's true i have a friend who plays piano and i bug him that the viola is much harder lol. and i always come up with a million reasons. and he gets mad and tries to find reason but i always find flaws in them.

Yea, the learning curves are different for piano and violin!

Is there a video of Oistrakh playing the entire Khachaturian Concerto? Or of Kogan?
