Every violin player is unique though each played on the same violin. Jasha Heifetz, Fritz Kreizler or Menuhin may play the same piece and yet a keen listening ear can tell them apart. For their fingering technique, bow pressure and speed of bow over strings are all unique which adds to the difference in quality of their instrument. It is the quality of their virtuosity that they can impress their individuality with their playing.
On the other hand an untrained player on Stradivarius will only make noise. He cannot make such a fine instrument yield its capabilities to him.

A panpipe player who was well known throughout Attica once went on a journey. At one place he stopped to rest under a tree. Immediately he was surrounded by an admiring crowd.
Visibly shaken he asked, ”How did you know I was stopping here?” One said, ”Aeolus said so.” He explained the keeper of the winds had told him of having helped him to his best breath.
“Thus said he. Did he?”
Another said he came to know of his presence from Pan who claimed he taught him his art. Another spoke of Asclepius who healed his body to do the job perfectly. “Yes,” he informed thus,”he asked me to watch out for you. So I came.”
The panpipe player said wearily,”I guess I owe them all thanks. But it was my practice that made it all possible!”
Art is making power of one count. If Vanessa May can so can you.
