Face td Face With r Fritz Kreisler i The World-Famous Violinist and Composer and His Priceless ( Violins (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) , The vibrant tone of a violin more nearly approches the human voice than any oilier instrument. Yeears ago o modest young man wearing a black mustuclic and hais jwrnpadour, occupied the front row as the Boston Symphony Orchestra. There was something in his playing and the music from that one violin that the young man conspicuous. There was personality behind it all. The violinist wjis Frits Kreister. today • one of the most popular violinists and couposers of the world. More I than a violinist, he plays many other musical instruments, including the j piano; he paints, has studied medi- 1 cine .and is an omnivorous reader. ] Recently 1 found him with Carl ] Greek fluently—not modern Greek | of the restaurants and fruit stores, | but the ancient classic .the Greek , language in which Aristotle and , Arhrtophanes addressed the multi- | tttUe.

Italian violinmakers. When he entered the parlor of Rabindranath Tagorc. the Hindu who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prlpe he found a little lamp burning at his desk. The master poet began humming a tune, but kept on writing. When he realized that Kreisler was present he became enthusiastic and told the bowing, blushing artist how his music had moved him deeply. “1 have heard many but no music has moved me so deeply as your playing on the bohala (violin). Come to India nnd study the music of our ancient nation." Achh vcment is aiiined up in Kreisler's own words: "I have not known an hour of idleness in my life. There always . seemed to lie something to do. I b'lieved in changing from one thing to another. I have dropped my jrtoltn at times to take up the paint brashes and then on to the piano and back to the violin. It i.; incredibl • what <>ne can Rnil to do and aasomplish in a year if he keepn on looking for something to do — and keeps at it " Kreisler among violinists is what Paderewski is among pianists.
