Violin Mastery - HANS LETZ - Part 2
VIOLIN MASTERY
When asked for his definition of the term, Mr. Letz said: “There can be no such thing as an absolute mastery of the violin. Mastery is a relative term. The artist is first of all more or less dependent on circumstances which he cannot control—his mood, the weather, strings, a thousand and one incidentals. And then, the nearer he gets to his ideal, the more apt his ideal is to escape him. Yet, discounting all objections, I should say that a master should be able to express perfectly the composer’s idea, reflected by his own sensitive soul.
