Elman

The Mejdi tour was the first time Tel Aviv University student Tamar Elman had heard guides debate such contentious issues.

"Yes, I believe in transcriptions for the violin—with certain provisos," said Mr. Elman, in reply to another question.

One need only listen to Ysaye, Elman, Kreisler: artists such as these employ the quick, intense vibrato with ideal effect.

Elman, like every great virtuoso of his caliber, is influenced in his revisions by the manner in which he himself does things.

Mischa Elman has told me he never practices; Leo Ornstein, on the other hand, spends hours every day at the piano.

Said the Chair would now be glad to hear suggestions from any gen'elman present.
