  • Before his Guarneri Quartet days, he was the Assistant Concertmaster of the Cleveland Orchestra--sharing the stand with Joseph Gingold. He spent a good deal of time at our house--my father, at the time, was head of the string department at The Cleveland Institute of music.

    "Old-Fashioned" simply means incorporating bowings, multiple changes of tone color, slides and other mannerisms that defined a freer style of interpretation harking back to violinists at the beginning of the 20th century.

  • Arnold Steinhardt ---> 100% class act

  • @ipmoic I. CAN'T. LIKE. YOUR. COMMENT. ENOUGH. I miss the playing of the old generation so much.

  • I'm reading Mr. Steinhardt's book, "Violin Dreams," right now. A must for all violinists and music lovers! A great book - one that any violinist can relate to, regardless of their level or accomplishment. He thinks about each piece he plays - it's structure, why it was written, etc., This is why he puts such feeling into his performances. I would have loved to have a teacher like Mr. Steinhardt.

  • awesome performance! what is the name of the actual documentary that this is taken from?

  • @arsenstepanyan I'm sure you can play twice as good as this.

  • completly shit... ugly sound... maybe from recording....

  • Amazing the kind of playing that tugs at your heart.

  • Not only is Mr. Steinhardt a great player but also he is a very nice person.

  • Great performer!!! amazing sound!

  • @sean4730

    listen to Toscha Seidel's recording. It will all make sense that Steinhardt studied with Seidel in his youth :)

  • what do u mean?
