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?)
