The great violinist Mischa Elman once defended his fans' fondness for encores by joking that, by the end of the concert, he was finally warmed up and ready to play. By that measure, Hilary Hahn's recital at Jordan Hall on Friday was the epitome of preparedness. Interspersed throughout Hahn's program were nine encores, part of a group of twenty-seven commissioned by the violinist, a fresh supply of such appendant repertoire.

Lucia Micarelli has earned a name among today’s great violinists by infusing her classical training with a wide variety of musical styles.

Description Notice: I am not a professonnal violinist which means my technique is not perfect. These poses are meant for artistic drawings, not technical ones In fact, I bought this VERY cheap violin few days ago and the only song I can play is ''Twinkle, Twinkle little star'' xD (www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYl67H… and the girl in the video plays 100 times better than me HAHA) ____________________________________________________________________ You must read the RULES before using the stock…
