Most important is to make music with your brain. Spirit comes first and hands must follow. I think that's what Milstein meant and it's so true. You can teach someone to have a beautiful soul.

you can tell from Milstein's accent he was a native Yiddish speaker; he sounds like my grandmother...! a fond thing...

I read that he did not speak Yiddish. He regretted not learning the language from his parents.

An absolutely fascinating conversation. What I discover from true masters of their art is that they are very humble about it, this is evident in this wonderful conversation. Thank you so much!

One question almost touched on the question which I have. How is it that the violinists of the past had such tremendous individuality (to the extent as if playing a different instrument) whereas today there is very little individuality?

That’s right about inventions. There are things I can practice so much and it still doesn’t work out-I then ask myself, what can I do to make this possible? You have to become hyper-creative.

1:10 Zukerman: Tell me, what is the most difficult piece you ever played? Milstein: Mephisto Waltz. Nathan Milstein arranged "Mephisto Waltz" for solo violin in 1982. Here is his performance at age 79 (with sheet music): kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZCanpekaM-Dqdk Here is the same recording without sheet music but with great viewer comments: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmWbm2mkhNyYeKM Also listen to Milstein's arrangement and perforamance of Paganininia: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYLNq36MoKukl8k

Mephisto Waltz, apparently his own arrangement of Liszt’s piano piece.

Regardant ces 2 violonistes et altiste que j'aime, je songe au film le Souper Claude Rich et Claude Brasseur pièce de Sacha Guitry, La Belle et le Clochard mangeant des spaghettis. Oui Nathan nous quitte le 31 décembre 1992 ?

Who wants to bet that Milstein complained that the soup was too cold, the pasta too dry, and the waiter too intrusive? Check please!

Why don't they just talk Ivrit or Yiddish ? I do not know if Pinchas Zukerman spreaks Russian. Nevertheless a great enounter.

I am a retired symphony musician, 77 yrs of age. When I was very young all the great concert violinists were Jews. Now most of them are Orientals. What happened?

When you were young most concert violinists were men. And that may be part of the answer. Now women almost outnumber the men. Here's a starter list... Hilary Hahn, Janine Jansen, Midori Gotō, Nicola Benedetti, Julia Fischer, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Kyung-Wha Chung, Lisa Batiashvili, Viktoria Mullova, Arabella Steinbacher, Kim Bomsori... And among young, up and coming concert violinists... Anna Savkina, Sophie Druml, Ririko Takagi, Elisa Scudeller, Valeria Abramova, Chloe Chua, Ko So Hyun... I'd say there are a lot more musicians from almost everywhere, and the standard is very high. When I was young most orchestra members were men. Now, although men still tend to outnumber the women, the gap is closing rapidly. In the Seoul Philharmonic Orchestra, for example, 62% or the members are women. In answer to your possibly rhetorical question, "what happened?"... Life happened. Empires and societies rise and fall, priorities change, cultural dominance changes, and nothing ever stays the same. And thank goodness for change.

Dedication + numbers. Jews were far more dedicated to musical education, now Asians are, plus Asians have much larger population numbers. Jews got westernized and kind of lost the spark. Simple statistics.

Don’t like the way Zuckerman is almost teasing Milstein. Would have expected a bit more respect and consideration of his age. Most questions were irritating.

You have to understand Jewish humour. Deprecating and self-deprecating.

I respect maestro Zuckerman, very much. He is a great musician. You also have to know that he is quite wealthy. Perhaps that would explain some parts of his personality. All in all it was a very interesting video of two great musicians.
