Ayke Agus recalls the very afternoon he asked her to stay after
class: "With that afternoon commenced my fifteen years of
bittersweet association with Jascha Heifetz through hell and high
water, from musical exultation to mundane daily care, a
relationship in which sometimes I was the whipping post and at
other times the spiritual counsellor of a superannuated, insecure,
and immature child who often threw away what he wanted and wanted
badly what he rejected. Through all these tribulations, music was
the spiritual bond that kept us together and made it possible for
me to put up with the paradox he represented." The aged Heifetz,
violinist of the century, had much to tell, and Ayke, 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.
