Extractions: Yehudi Menuhin called his Los Gatos days " a blithe, young, joyful, golden time" By Dan Pulcrano Yehudi Menuhin, who died Friday in Berlin, Germany, at the age of 82, was profoundly influenced by his early years in Los Gatos. He maintained his connection to the area even though he lived in London, had taken on British citizenship and been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. Although he lived here only a short time as a youth and considered himself a citizen of the world, the renowned violinist developed a special love for the town and its surrounding hills that lasted more than 60 years. His wandering parents had fled the anti-Semitic pogroms of Russia as youths, then escaped the stifling social strictures of Jewish religious orthodoxy in Palestine as young adults. They came to New York, then crossed the river to New Jersey, but cared little for the ghetto mentality of what the senior Menuhin referred to as "Elizabethdump." In 1918, when Yehudi Menuhin was 2 years old, the family traversed the continent by train and settled in California. They first lived in San Francisco and later moved to Los Gatos, where Moshe and Marutha Menuhin spent their remaining years. Menuhin used biblical metaphor to describe his special feelings for Los Gatos. "For all my family the Garden of Eden could be very exactly pinpointed in the Santa Cruz Mountains," he wrote.

Extractions: His musical interests were not limited to the Western styles with which he first reached international fame. He was a major force in promoting the understanding and appreciation of other musical cultures. Our knowledge of the music of Ravi Shankar, for example, owes a lot to the work of Yehudi Menuhin. He believed that music exists to help make the world a better place - to bring order out of chaos -and he dedicated his life to making that happen. A conversation with Yehudi Menuhin was a uniquely refreshing experience, and when he died in 1999 the world - all the world, not just the world of music - suffered an incalculable loss. It is hard to imagine a suitable monument to such a man, and ultimately one monument will not be enough. There are already at least two that seem specially appropriate - the Menuhin School of Music and the Menuhin Foundation, which is dedicated to the artistic enrichment of children's lives and the promotion of understanding between different cultures, and particularly the protection of endangered cultures.
