Dear Jeffrey,

Here is a video sent to me by a colleague, the concertmaster of the American Symphony Orchestra.

I can think of no better example of rehearsing and refined music making. In fact, I find the rehearsal more interesting than the performance, which is at the end. The conductor is a wonderfully gifted man, who died at the age of forty-nine in 1960.

Best,

Leon
