Violinist Jascha Heifetz
Jascha Heifetz, 1901-1987) Asha Heifetz is the most influential violinist in the world today. He was born in Vilnius, Lithuania, and began to learn violin at the age of 3. His father was his first teacher, and he gave his first concert at the age of 6. Then, he entered the Petersburg Conservatory of Music and studied under the famous Russian violin school's founder, Professor O 'Polder O 'Ur. After graduation, Heifetz went to Berlin and Scandinavia to perform. In the summer of 1917, he and his family came to California, USA,

and made their debut at Carnegie Hall in new york, playing Paganini's "Capriccio No.24" and so on. The performance was a great success, especially his mastery of the difficult skills of his left hand and his steady and skillful handling of the bow with his right hand, which impressed all the audience present, most of whom were musicians. Hafez became an American citizen in 1925. Heifetz pays great attention to the training of violin basic skills, especially the practice of scales, and advocates that the practice of scales should account for more than half of the whole practice time. His playing style embodies his devil-like technique and fiery personality, and the modern classical style is what he follows. His playing is like "Bel Canto" singing, every slip is carefully crafted, and every bow is musical. His perfect combination of musicality and technique makes him the most influential violinist today and has influenced many violinists since.
