@BestAmateurViolinist no way. where did you get that information? i know that ferras' father was an overbearing alcoholic, determined to make his son successful, and to capitalize on this. i knew that heifetz' childhood was intense; but abusive? i'm curious to research this is you don't mind pointing the way. thanks!

@sanjosemike I am shocked you would quote Wikipedia as a reference when you are a retired doctor. People with Auspergers have problems with coordination. He was the ping-pong champion of Israel. He was also a very fine pianist, a pretty good swimmer, from accounts, and his violin playing as perfect as it gets. Being a doctor is a practice. It doesn't mean that because you diagnose, you're always correct. There are lawsuits for such assumptions.

You need to re-read. His face was VERY expressive.

@hnk777 In making a glissando, it's the same as singing for a singer. Heifetz's approach is NOT in the fiddle playing at all: it's in the vocal qualities. He always wants the line to sing naturally. The idea is to use the 4 strings as 4 voices, and so sometimes you DO need to go up on a string, the same as a singer would.

Today, everyone is too concerned with performing notes accurately: nobody has a heart.

In the old days, you made the piece your own interpretation. You didn't ASK permission.

@sanjosemike You couldn't be more incorrect. Heifetz wasn't a klutz or a putz. People with Auspergers have physical coordination problems. Not JH.

Heifetz had a horrid childhood. His earlier years were torture and he made a few comments about it. He was very social at first, and as time waned on, he found that he couldn't just be himself: he said that everyone wanted something from him, so his guard could never be down. You can't imagine such stress, or you wouldn't have mentioned Auspergers.

@bigmelt BRAVO. I have an IQ of 165 with ADHD. I really dislike when people misdiagnose some condition or another without being psychiatrists themselves. Even then, I had been misdiagnosed for years as bi-polar and was never bi-polar. They only found out when they gave me meds for ADHD. Many geniuses have been ADHD or bi-polar. Some people are idiots who think they know something, but idiots never know how they're unbelieveably stupid. Pity

Heifetz was potty trained at gunpoint by his father.
