IDA HAENDEL TALKS ABOUT REVISITING REPERTOIRE

“I would say we never stop learning. In other words, something that I had played a 1000 times, every time I take that score, and I look at it, I find new information. It’s a never-ending source of education. Totally inexhaustible. It means that these were the greatest geniuses. We are just a tool. We are juts trying to satisfy the composition. When I take my violin and I look into a score, I say, my god, I missed this yesterday. I didn’t see yesterday what it really means. It’s a never-ending source of education.”
