I didn't mean to be derogatory at all to Mr. Joachim, as it's clear through the precious recordings he left us that he was a great violinist in an age in which style, interpretation, and individuality was placed on the same level of importance as technique. I just wanted to say that technique in general was inferior then compared to now. However, I do think the fiddlers today leave something to be desired in other aspects of violin, and personally would rather stick with the greats of the past.

aimson Many greetings and thanks from Lima, Perú, for this direct window to the past. Indeed, in the very last fraction of second it seems tome to hear the voice of Joachim or someone else. It seems, also, that, by the restrictions caused by the time limits of the phonograph, Joachim is obliged to abridge the crotchets (the long notes). I have read about the rivalry between Joachim & Wieniawski. W criticized J of lack of technique. J criticized W of excess of it. Thanks again!
