On one stave, for a small instrument, the man writes a whole
world of the deepest thoughts and most powerful feelings. If I imagined that I
could have created, even conceived the piece, I am quite certain that the
excess of excitement and earth-shattering experience would have driven me out
of my mind. If one doesn't have the greatest violinist around, then it is well
the most beautiful pleasure to simply listen to its sound in one's mind.
