Overview

In this collection of in-depth interviews, today’s leading violinists discuss making music on one of the world’s most beloved instruments. Whether they’re child prodigies just coming onto the stage or cultural icons whose careers have had a lasting influence on generations of players, they provide a rare glimpse into the fascinating life of the classical violin soloist. How they practice, how they work with other musicians, their performance secrets and anxieties, what moves and
inspires them—all this and more come to life in this series of revealing one-on-one conversations. Each of the interviews was conducted by a fellow musician for Strings Magazine, where both professionals and dedicated amateurs share their passion for music.
