Title: Virtuoso Life - Good and Bad
Product review: This biography was very enlightening. Michael Rabin's story is a story of great success and great tragedy. Rabin played Paganini Caprices at a high level after just 3 years of training. Part of that was talent and part of that was a relentless work ethic cultivated by his mother and Rabin's own desire to play. It is this same work ethic that perhaps in this case was also the tragedy since it lead to social deficits in his experiences growing up. These are among the toughest decisions parents of talented children must make.One of the interesting findings of this biography is the clarafication of the circumstances of Rabin's early death. Regardless of the circumstances of his death, the violin world lost a great champion of the violin too early. One can only wonder how his career would have developed had he overcome the significant challenges in his life.
