(Amadeus). Ayke Agus came to Jascha Heifetz as a violin student in his master class at the University of Southern California; after he made her the class pianist she soon became his private accompanist and ultimately his assistant and confidante. Her book is a loving yet unblinking testimony to a unique relationship between an aging master and his disciple. Always a difficult person, Heifetz imparted not only his art but his every belief and idiosyncrasy. The greatest violinist of the 20th century was a genius who was also insecure and unreasonable; in many respects the former prodigy had never had to grow up. This memoir is an extraordinary story of a truly unique friendship, told with honesty, understanding, and devotion. "For the last fifteen years of Jascha Heifetz's life, Ayke Agus was his closest companion. She came to him as a violin student in his master class at the University of Southern California, but he singled her out when he heard her play the piano; she became his private accompanist and ultimately his assistant and confidante. Agus takes up where previous biographers left off; her book is a loving yet unblinking testimony to a unique relationship between a master and his disciple.". "The aged Heifetz, the violinist of the century, had much to tell, and Ayke Agus, a young woman from Indonesia - Heifetz preferred "from the jungles of Java" - absorbed it all as they shared their stories about their lives and about music making. He imparted not only the legacy of his art but all his beliefs and idiosyncrasies, teaching her how he held audiences spellbound, how the pianist collaborates with the violinist, and finally how he crafted his transcriptions, the last of which they worked on together."--BOOK JACKET.
