ENCOUNTERING SÁNDOR VÉGH
It was an important date for me. I was scheduled to play Bartók’s Second Violin Concert at a Music Event. Two weeks previously, I heard about a Master Class to be held by Sándor Végh in Salzburg and promptly appeared there the next morning. I found him in the Mozartheum, in a hall overflowing with students. Upon entering, he saw me, the newcomer, and asked what business I was traveling in.

Dear Master Class participants
and music lovers!
I felt great satisfaction with this years Master Class. It was a high point of my association China and Japan. My teaching in Tokyo, Shanghai Beijing etc. of highly talented young violinists has richly borne fruit.
We do a good job in the Master Class, and this was, in the past, greatly appreciated in performances in Perugia, Cremona, Kötschach-Mauten, and Klagenfurt.
This way I am able, too, to pay respects to my past teachers. Lányi Margit who, in Budapeest, has introduced me to the outstanding school of Karl Flesch, and my professor and mentor Sándor Végh in Salzburg who linked me to the Franko-Belgo-Hungarian school of playing. You can trce me back through Végh and his famous teacher Hubay who in turn was the most eminent pupil of Vieuxtemps who received his knowledge from Viotti and Beriot in Paris.
I am always delighted to pass on this inherited sum of experience and playing culture, accumulated along this long line of generations, to the next generation. It was interesting to see the pleasure my pupils had with the novel ideas. Because this style of bowing endows the instrument with a free, far-reaching, radiant sound, and the interpretation reaches a higher level.
The pieces programmed for the concerts are freshly prepared. We hope the audience will enjoy the newly gained suggestive and expressive quality. |
