Ayke AgusHeifetz: As I Knew Him(Amadeus Press)Indonesian-born 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 for the last 15 years of his life. Agus is a sensitive and astute observer, and her book takes up where previous biographers, whose works are long out of print, left off. It is a loving yet unblinking testimony to a unique relationship between an aging master and his disciple. Heifetz, nearly 50 years the author's senior, had much to tell, and Agus absorbed it all. He taught 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. Her memoir is an extraordinary story of a truly unique friendship. Bein & Fushi is proud to have presented Ayke Agus in a special master class focusing on artistic collaboration in the Great Room last May. For more on that event, click here.
