Jascha Heifetz, nineteen, defends innate talent over practice while recounting escape from Russia during revolution. He says music is a birth gift, not learned by sheer effort, and recalls starting violin at age three under his father in Vilna before fleeing to safety.
A profile of Jascha Heifetz describes his birthright gift for the violin, tutored by his father and by Professor Auer. It notes his debut in Petrograd, studies in Vilna and Petrograd, acclaim from Berlin and Nikisch, and the discipline driving his superb memory and practice. It also paints Heifetz as focused, modest, and devoted to timing and musical joy.
