| This player is one of the few living exponents of the nineteenth century Russian violinistic tradition. |
| His darkly burnished sound in the Andante sostenuto was all warmth and violinistic molten lava. |
| There is no trace in their solo sections of the violinistic broken-chord figuration found in the overture. |
| The composer chose instead to write it all himself, annotating the score in incredible detail to explain exactly how each violinistic effect is to be achieved. |
