BACH DOUBLE CONCERTO: the other violinist

I have a recording of Heifetz playing both parts. It was one of my eye-openers to classical music when I was in 6th or 7th grade. It was pressed on a 10" disk, versus a normal 12", long play disks. I don't listen to it much any more.

At that age, was kind of impressed, but not really. (Pretty boring.)

Before I suspended my lessons for medical reasons, I was working on the D Minor with my teacher. (I like the 2nd violin part.) In the first part of the year, we worked through the entire 1st movement, trying out different fingerings. She's played the piece many times, so has all the fingerings.

Once my schedule settles down, I'll workin on it section by section, and as I get a given section up to my liking, we'll meet and play it together.

I performed this concerto with one of my chemistry students with our community orchestra! That was tremendous fun. All three movements.

BTW, I also have some recordings of Oscar Shumsky and his son, Eric, another great father/son duo.

For example there is a HEIFETZ album of three double concertos (Bach, Brahms, and Mozart) where the names of Friedman, Primrose, and Piatigorsky are in much smaller type on the cover, but in other releases of the same album the type sizes are the same for the four players. There is album by Stern with Perlman's name in small type, but another release of the same album with same-size type. And then there is a album by Hilary Hahn with the Concerto for Two Violins and the Concerto for Violin and Oboe, and these other musicians' names do not appear on the front of the cover.

I have the same problem with my CD/DVD disk printer(:-)}
