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

I love sharing your passion and love for music through your poems Daver, it reminds me of how much I used to love to listen and sing and play. Where did that all go? Thanks Daver, ~Trudy~

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?)
