Marvellous! Thank you for posting. I am not Hungarian, but having studied in Canada with Székely Zoltán, Starker János, Czakó Éva, Janzer György, Magyar Gábor, Sebők György and Fenyves Loránd, my feeling is that the most influential teacher of my life was undoubtedly Weiner Leó-and I never met him.

Miljen szep az oltozetok mind a ketojoknek.Ahogy beszelgetnek lehet erezni a beket, a tiszteletet.Es tenyleg nagyon gyonyoruen muzsikal. Bisztosan, nagy hittel volt Isten irant! Lehet erezni eszt a hitet a muzsikaba!

What lovely, expressive playing. I've had his shifting book for years, but didn't know what a lovely expressive player he was. Thank you for sharing!

Absolutely wonderful! And, now what can you say about the pinky on his bow hand? Great control of the instrument and a musical virtuoso! Thank you for posting and providing the English translation, too!

During his master class seminar teaching in 1969 at the Weimar Franz Liszt Hochschule, I had the privilege as freshman bratscher, to not only sit in each of Pal Lucacs's Bratschen lessons but also serve as page turner for his accompanists in his brillant concert performances during that seminar. (18:00 minute mark all the way in the back could be me). His human qualities were a reflection of his musical abilities. Once in a lifetime outstanding experience and treat. An accomplished musician and human being at its best! One of the concerts he gave happened on the eve of the moon landing hoax and I was a page turner and remember vividly his reaction to my excitement about this non event: he did not say a word but to my bewilderment looked at me like a sage looks at a fool, unable to discern between reality and fairy tales. One very interesting thing was his aversion of BLUE JEANS. No student in his master classes ever wore them, we all knew, how much he disliked them. (I am Gerhard Ausmeier and my videos were forbidden all over Europe and when my subscribers were near 200 youtube=google hijacked my channel, combining it with one of my least used g-mail addresses).

Wonderful to discover this special artist! Eric Shumsky

Eric, I’m so happy to see you’re well; we got to know each other a little at Banff, which in retrospect was, by far, the greatest educational experience of my life. Working with your dad that summer, along with each of those extraordinary Hungarian musicians and Bill Primrose was an embarrassment of riches. No wonder that that’s where the Takács quartet and many others studied; Juilliard paled-Banff in the 1970s was in a class by itself.
