Daver Austin Poet Haiku

Three For Heifetz

when you hear these two
Fritz Kreisler    Jascha Heifetz
all others fall short


Piano trio in d minor
Arensky says
Heifetz says
“I love you”


In his playing
There is an edge
Exciting!
Leading!
An edge    I’m certain
He is unaware
It sculps the tree
Plumbs the wood depth
Finds the time opened pores
Then speaks from within

Carolyn Devonshire July 17, 2009 at 7:51 PM I can really feel the music in your words, Daver. I often find myself on "an edge" when I am listening to a vibrant concert. And I bow to the master violinist for gracing us with this gem. Love, Carolyn (How's that novel coming?)

Carrie Richards July 15, 2009 at 7:07 AM A fellow classical music fan.....this is the music that lasts and lasts through the centuries......always will.....nothing can compare!! :) I'm with you on this one!!
