From the liner of Itzhak Perlman's Great Romantic Concertos set:...between which Clement entertained the audience with a sonata of his own, played on one string with the violin upside-down.
I didn't know they did that sort of thing in those days. Last summer I saw a performance of a modern piece that called on the bassist to bow in the pegbox and between the bridge and the tailpiece, but I hadn't heard of a violin being played upside-down before this. I should like to have seen it!
