FROM MY DIARYNOVEMBER, 1987"During the rehearsal of Tchaikovsky, I ask Menuhin to suggest some fingerings, to put on the second theme of the first movement, because mine seems ugly and ineffective. The Maestro replies surprisingly. 'I never give suggestions to colleagues, on the contrary: I always want to catch secrets from them'. I don't understand if he wants to gratify me, or if he considers me unworthy of his teachings. I lean toward the second hypothesis."
