Long life to the Stradivarius
For a musician, the instrument becomes a part of us. It becomes an extension of ourselves, and therefore we are nothing without our instrument.
It is true that for a pianist that idea turns a bit different, as we need to get used to playing on different pianos in our lives. However, for a violinist, its own violin means passion, profession and the day by day.
That makes us think about all the different paths and experiences that instrument goes through accompanying its player. And that’s why, our violin teacher, Irene Bejar has recently written an article talking about this idea. The lives of the violins.
She tells some of the famous stories from famous violinists and their violins. Different situations and memories, some of them not that good, that make us think about the importance of the instrument for a musician. One of the most famous movies talking about the same topic is “the red violin” by François Girard and in which this article is also talking about.
