Generozitatea lui Menuhin (pentru care Enescu a avut cu siguranţă o contribuţie) este încă vizibilă pe http://www.menuhin.org. O şcoală, o fundaţie, o academie internaţională de muzică în Elveţia, Festivalul Gstaad, competiţia britanică pentru tineri violonişti, Yehudi Menuhin Live Music Now! Deutschland dar şi UK fac parte din palmaresul bogat al unei vieţi care a ales să dăinuiască astfel.
Am selectat de pe menuhin.org câteva fragmente de gânduri:
“The music teacher sets a process in motion, rather than imposing it… the teacher’s role is to instruct the student in the art of self-correction, or analysing and of thinking, taking decisions, then applying them to the task in hand. The teacher’s ultimate aim is for the student to become independent – to become a master rather than a pupil – which the teacher must be both.”
On holding a bow…“I should be able to blow on your hand and it should move.”
“We already have the basis for a child to develop on its own. They need just a little push; it is a question of opening ears and eyes…I want the pupils to leave with an impeccable understanding and execution of every style – classical, baroque and contemporary.”
“My childhood was remarkably free from the deforming effects of competition. The standards against which I measured my achievements were the highest, and the attempt was made in reverent awe, not in a desire to be acknowledged superior.”
Întreaga discografie (cam straniu termenul, nu?) impresionantă o puteţi accesa pe http://www.menuhin.org/?page=theMusic/discography.html
