But don't for a moment suppose, gentlemen, that even if a man has arms and doesn't have to hold the gun with his feet and pull the trigger with his toes, that he learns how to do it without sweating and self-denial and endless patience." "Somebody said you play the violin like Sarasate," said Hans Füllenberg. "Not exactly. Nor need I, considering the way I was born.
Ingolby asked coolly. "I know there was catastrophe, the tumblings of avalanches, but the voice that cried-the soul of a lover, was it?" The Romany's lips showed an ugly grimace. "It was the soul of one that betrayed a lover, going to eternal tortures." Ingolby laughed carelessly. "It was a fine bit of work. Sarasate would have been proud of his fiddle if he could have heard.
I find it out of the question to do absolutely mechanical technical work of any length of time. In realizing the three essentials of good violin playing which I have already mentioned, Ysaye and Sarasate are my ideals. "All really good violinists are good artists. He literally sang on the violin, like a nightingale.
You know I've something going on every Sunday evening it's the day when New York doesn't know what to do with itself, and so I say to it: 'Come and be amused. And the Duke thought you'd be tempted by Sarasate. You'll find a number of your friends." Madame Olenska's face grew brilliant with pleasure. "How kind! How good of the Duke to think of me!" She pushed a chair up to the tea-table and Mrs.

Its people are tired and blase; like highly trained circus-horses, they want to trot or gallop always in the old grooves. It will always be so. Sarasate is like a brilliant meteor streaming across their narrow bit of the heaven of music; they stare, gape, and think it is an unnatural phenomenon a 'virtuosity' in the way of meteors, which they are afraid to accept lest it set them on fire.
"We other violinists, all of us, occasionally play a false note, for we are not infallible; we may flat a little or sharp a little. But never, as often as I have heard Sarasate play, did I ever hear him play a wrong note, one not in perfect pitch. His Spanish things he played like a god! And he had a wonderful gift of phrasing which gave a charm hard to define to whatever he played.
In the presence of a genius like Pablo de Sarasate they are more or less perplexed, it is as though you ask them to describe in set, cold terms the counterpoint and thoroughbass of the wind's symphony to the trees, the great ocean's sonata to the shore, or the delicate madrigals sung almost inaudibly by little bell-blossoms to the tinkling fall of April rain.
"Not possible!" and he eyed the impassive individual in question with a certain compassionate amusement, "Why, if he cannot admire such a magnificent artist as Sarasate, what is there in the world that WILL rouse his admiration!" "Nothing!" rejoined Heliobas, his eyes twinkling humorously as he spoke "Nothing, unless it is his own perspicuity! Nil admirari is the critic's motto.
From Alard we have Sarasate, and from Léonard, Marsick and Dengremont, while through Rode we have Böhm, and from him a large number of eminent violinists, including G. Hellmesberger, Ernst, Dont, Singer, L. Strauss, Joachim, Rappoldi. Some of them we shall refer to at length as great performers, others were celebrated more as teachers.
