From Knee-Highs to Silk Stockings…
Recently, I played a recital with an old and dear friend, Reiko Uchida. As we were practicing Schnittke, Beethoven, Part, Vernon Duke (aka Vladimir Dukelsky..how hilarious is that?) and others in her apartment in NYC, I couldn’t help but remember looking over at her during our appearances on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson…..
He was the classiest guy, having 11 and 12 year olds play complete movements of Vivaldi and Telemann on national tv, and then interviewing us. Who does that anymore? and everybody seemed to forget how old they were or what their name was (except me). And I think I still am going through traumatic stress disorder with my mother allowing the tallest person in the quartet wear knee highs on tv. But that’s another story….As we played in Florida, I had such joy knowing that we had practiced so hard with Alice and Eleonore Schoenfeld and now almost 30 years later, we were still doing what we loved doing…. feeling the music and making the music speak and breathe.
Hi Anne,
I just recently discovered your music. Recently I have been playing around with the idea of learning how to play the violin. As a visual artist I can appreciate the beauty of the instrument and have recently began to include them in still life work.
Your playing is remarkable and most diffidently and inspiration to me as an artist and hopefully a soon to be practicing violinist.
Just wanted to tell you how special your music is to me and I hope you continue to “make the music speak and breathe: (love that quote:)
All the best to you,
