Jascha Heifetz: Through My Eyes
For eleven years, through her close association as pupil and master-teaching assistant to Jascha Heifetz, Sherry Kloss was privileged to be among the elite few who were welcomed into the master's inner circle. She shares her experiences in this fascinating and insightful memoir which has received the highest praise from reviewers: We finally get a revealing glimpse of Heifetz at home as well as in the studio, and come away with a much-deepened appreciation of his special gifts. I couldn't put it down! (Robert Sherman, WQXR-FM) Sherry Kloss passes the Heifetz torch to all of us ... by opening the door to the traditions of the Heifetz classroom so that we, too, may learn the lessons Heifetz taught. (Elaine Fine, American Record Guide). Kloss is professor of violin and Sursa Distinguished Professor in fine arts at Ball State University and plays the Heifetz Tononi violin willed to her by Jascha Heifetz.(click on images for larger version, when available)
