Subject: RE: Difference between fiddle and violin
Yehudi Menuhin was a great violinist, Mark but a terrible fiddler (IMHO). When he did that LP with Stephan Grappelly, he sounded really wooden. I suspect Grappelly had to write out all Menuhin's part for him. Mind you , he had the immense job of trying to swing to the same standard as Grappelly who was truly unique.
