Evidently, newspaper writers find it difficult to research facts readily available even on the internet. On February 10, 2024, The Albuquerque Journal published, in a review of an upcoming concert featuring the Santa Fe Symphony, the same myth which began way back in 1939.

That was back in the late sixties. He was very kind to me: whenever he went to Switzerland, he would bring me back a box of chocolates! My brother was one of his students and he has always told me that Mr Virovai was an amazing teacher. May he rest in peace.

I remember when I was a young child and my Dad was playing quartets with Heifetz, Piatigorsky and I can’t remember the violist in Santa Barbara one summer. They had all been playing for hours and I was on the floor playing with toy cars. They decided to take a break and someone put on Abby Road which had just come out. They listened to it straight through and when it was done, my Dad stood up and said “this s@#t will never go anywhere “.
