"Dorothy DeLay is the first woman and the first American to have been accorded a place among history's great violin pedagogues. From Itzhak Perlman to Midori and Sarah Chang, the list of her pupils reads like a Who's Who of today's virtuoso performers. For more than half a century, she has been a power behind the throne, a legend within the world of classical music, whose influence extends far beyond the practice room.".

"Sand examines the childhoods of several DeLay students, taking an in-depth look at one of today's foremost stars, Sarah Chang. Woven through the stories are key issues in the care and training of exceptional young artists.".

"Itzhak Perlman, Isaac Stern, and Nadja Salerno-Sonnenberg are among the musicians who provide their very personal assessments of Delay as friend and teacher. Their insights, as well as those of DeLay's husband, New Yorker writer Edward Newhouse, paint a portrait of a woman whose motivating challenge is to find the approach that will lead to her charges' success."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description

Describes the life and work of Dorothy Delay, world-renowned violin teacher, who was assistant, and later, unintended rival, to Ivan Galamian at the Juilliard School of Music in New York. She trained violinists in performance and making career choices. Her students included Itzhak Perlman, Sarah Chung and Midori. Includes personal reminiscences and insight into the world of classical music training, the rigours, intrigues and delights of the treasure of the highest levels of study and performance, known only to very few lucky players. An informative, interesting read, not only for those studying classical music, but for anyone helping or parenting a would-be classical musician.
