Freelance and independent violinists and violists: what could we learn from Mendelssohn or Casals? Is it a good thing anyway to learn from the great?

They revived the general audience's interest in the music of Bach. What can we learn from Isaac Stern and Mstislav Rostropovich? They enlarged the classical repertoire for their respective instruments more than any other musician.

What can we learn from Yo-Yo Ma? Particularly a lot! He took the cello from the realm of just classical music and made it a cross-cultural, cross-genre instrument that is as great in an Elgar Cello concerto on a giant concert stage as it is on a road trip with his SilkRoad ensemble.

What do independent violinists and violists like us do? They bring back lost pages in the history of classical music and expand the repertoire of violinists and violists by dozens, if not hundreds, of percentages.
