Extractions: rokofiev was not as prolific in the violin repetoire as he was in piano. As a result, there is unfortunately not a significant body of violin and chamber work to which violinists could 'dedicate' their efforts. However, this is not to say there haven't been venerable great violinists who championed Prokofiev's work. The most important violinist in Prokofiev's life was David Oistrakh , who collaborated with Prokofiev in some of his violin works and recorded all of Prokofiev's violin repetoire multiple times. Several of today's brightest violinist have recorded most of Prokofiev's major violin works with spectacular results. Others, like have recorded very little of Prokofiev's violin repetoire, yet frequently play his works in public recitals and show a profound understanding of his music.

She was an indelible character: opinionated, perpetually dissatisfied, outspoken, impolitic, nonconformist, a limit-tester. But she was a gifted violinist who might have gotten stuck in a professional rut because she wasn't good at institutional game playing. Wisely, she got out of town. After a stint as associate concertmaster at the Cleveland Orchestra and now serving as concertmaster of the Atlanta Symphony, Arzewski returned to Boston yesterday afternoon to play the Beethoven Violin Concerto with her old BSO colleague, Max Hobart, and his orchestra. The occasion reminded this listener (who hadn't heard the violinist since her BSO days) of the school reunion where the class nerd comes back as Bill Gates or the dreamy bohemian appears as a prize-winning author. That is to say it was a triumph.
