Jascha Heifetz Master Classes

Season 1 Episode 5: Heifetz Master Class; 5; Erick Friedman Plays Bach

Mr. Friedman, now on his first concert tour of the United States, is Mr. Heifetzs graduate student. Mr. Friedman has recently done a recording for RCA Victor which Mr. Heifetz introduced. He performs Bach Sonata for Violin G Minor Adagio and Fugue and Bach Concerto for Two Violins Second Movement with Mr. Heifetz and Friedman. This sonata in G Minor is one of six that Bach wrote for the violin along, that is, unaccompanied. The sonatas are not only melodious, as well as difficult, but stand alone in all music literature as a monumental creation. The Bach Concerto for Two Violins performed by Mr. Heifetz and Erick Friedman is one of the most joyous works from the pen of the great master. Heifetz chose this work to introduce his pupil Erick Friedman, to the musical world, via a recent RCA Victor album.
