Interview with Kristy Kiernan, author of Catching Genius

Hi all,

It's been a while since my last post. The holidays were incredibly hectic and I've found it quite hard to get back to my old routine--and that includes not only blog posting but violin practicing as well!

I've had to put aside the main piece I was working on--Concertino in ungarischer Weise, by O. Rieding, Op. 21--in order to get back to the right tracks with something a bit easier, this time an etude by Harry Schloming.

I've also been looking at violin cases for my new violin (hand-made in China, assembled here in Belgium, nothing fancy, but with a rich, sweet tone). Anyway, this is the case I think I'll end up buying within the next few days.
For some reason the price has dropped half since last year, so my teacher tells me it's a great buy. Here's the link: http://www.tasset.com/artonuselipeviolincase-p-9163.html. Any thoughts?

Anyway, I hope you all had a very nice holiday season.

Today on my blog, Violin and Books, is Kristy Kiernan, author of CATCHING GENIUS, which features a violinist as one of its protagonists. I had the pleasure of interviewing this fascinating author thanks to our very own Terez Rose, who was kind enough to 'introduce' us via the internet.

Thanks and have a great day!

best,
Mayra Calvani
