  • Why is everyone talking about his piano skills, and not the fact that he composed - a pop song no less! As far as I can tell, the piano skills required for a pop song like this is trivial; I think it's far more interesting to think about his secret passion for simple love melodies and why he didn't write more.

  • Heifetz must be a genius...

  • Heifetz foi um genio da musica tinha um pensamento amplo da musica não se prendia simplesmente ao violino e somente a musica erudita.Tem varias gravações dele tocando peças populares e arranjos feitos por ele, e se falando de musica popular e preferia compor para o piano.

  • wish he would've composed for the violin. :( it is quite sad.

  • wow when i first saw the start of the clip i thought it was just going to be a recording of Jascha playing with just pictures oveer the top... and then I saw him play! : )

  • @KevinFromSD he is a genius ahaha

  • Wonderful!

    Does anyone have the score, please ?!

    Thanks,

    Geert Dehoux, pianist.

  • @leonlixinfong He wrote about fifty pop songs but this one - recorded by Crosby - was about the only one that had any fame at all..

  • Heifetz plays the piano since very young It was common in Auers class to accompany eachother at lesson... There are photos where you see young Heifetz acompaning young Seidel In Auer lesson. It is said that he had no problem playing even a piece like the Franck sonata on the piano....

  • Heifetz' choice of his alias "Jim Hoyl" is surely a sample of his odd kind of humour: "Hoyl" sounds like being derived from the German word "heulen", which means to howl, wail, cry, blubber, and the like... ;-)

    Maybe it is similar in Jiddish? Because Jiddish and German are very similar...

  • A truly gifted individual.

    Thanks for sharing.

  • @Zractor Yeah; clarinet, too.
