In Reply to: Heifitz imitating a student audition. posted by Rick W on January 30, 2007 at 20:11:16:
was a movie of his master class that I have seen. A group of students seated, eagerly watching the maestro. They take turns to play small pieces that they prepared. After the first student finishes, Heifetz, with stone expression on his face, carefully opens his violin case, carefully takes out the violin, and plays the piece over again. He then carefully returns the violin back into the case and closes it, all with the same stone expression on his face. Then next student takes his turn, and Heifetz listens with stone expression on his face. He then carefully opens the violin case, carefully takes out the violin, and plays the piece over again. He then carefully returns the violin back into the case and closes it. Next stutent takes stage, and everything repeats untill all the students are through. After the last return of the violin to the case, the case is locked and the movie is over.
