Hmm...Heifetz was right. People didn't enjoy his music as much because the only thing they looked for was when or how often he was going to slip up....and that's all they'd probably take home with them after the concert -- a statistic.

It's the easiest job to criticize and expect impossible things from 'idols', even beyond their own limits. It's another matter that how many of us can or are willing to work so hard and sacrifice so much in life and do even 10% of what he did....

I started this piece a week ago

The hardest thing here is this polyphony of cascading notes -- the ear is more sensitive to the higher notes and it is difficult to project and hear all the notes equally well so that the rhythm driving the prelude can be picked up -- this is what makes many sections truly meaningful, without it some parts might sound like a random jumble of notes. Try listening to this on a harp and you'll see a new meaning to the way this piece goes.

@An0niempje Actually that was Heifetz's own opinion of what he thought was expected of him -- he refused to believe otherwise.

But I really wonder why some people take one slight scratch or one note just barely off pitch in one frame in one single video and use it to bash each others' favorite musicians "why my favorite violinist is "God" and yours sucks" and turn the page into a battlefield.

Perfection does not exist -- there are only standards, styles and personal tastes.

@srinitaaigaura You are wrong that errors is the only thing people are looking for. Maybe some people do that, but (i hope) most people really enjoy the music.

Naturally I notice errors and one reason I love Heifetz is that he doesn't make many of them.

Wierd. Jascha Heifitz is better than Kriesler, but Kriesler is more famous

@ZainIslamsAccount just look

@NexusDoug Yeah, when he was 37 he claimed he had been practicing and playing for about 66000 HOURS! (7.5 years). About 5-6 hours a day on average! He had total musical recall and could remember anything he played from the score by doing it just once. He was also an expert pianist.

He toured 2,000,000 miles in his career, in THOSE days. He was also incredibly efficient at maximizing his practice productivity and despite surgery, still played till he died at 87... now how's that for commitment?

This makes me think how this man really had to live up to his own legend. I mean the pressure must have been really high - to preform at the prestige that is expected every time. Hours and hours and hours of dedication. This is music.
