I remember my parents playing me this recording of the "Violin King" when I was about 6 years old, and being amazed at how easy it all sounded! If only I knew......as my professor Gingold used to say, "When Heifetz walked in the room, any other violinists might as well start packing up their violins. There was no point to even try to match him!" Hora Stacatto is known for its up and down bow stacattos, and Heifetz plays each way with equal bravura. Sigh! Time for bed!
