In my first Juilliard lesson with Ms Delay I played this Wieniawski Polonaise… She commented and then said Billy it would go quicker if you got my bowings and fingerings; end of lesson. I came to the next 2 lessons and played it the same way and each time she said the same thing. So of course for my 4th lesson I played it exactly the same way and when I finished she asked me what I wanted from her. I said I didn’t know. She asked if I wanted to bring her sonatas or quartet parts and I said no. She asked what concertos I liked and I said Bartok and she said bring me that. I left very happy, as she didn’t have bowing's or fingerings for Bartok.
