movements ...'
joachim is known to have suffered
pains in his arms and fingers and this,
as an immediate cause, might have
had something to do with his putting
of the public performance of the con-
certo again and again. He writes to
Andreas Moser on August S, 1898:
Dear Moser. You ask me to give you
information about the manuscript in
my possession of violin concerto by
Robert Schumann. cannot speak
about it without deep emotions, for 1t
Is the creation of the last half year
of my dear master and friend, imme-
diately prior to the sad outbreak of
his mental troubles -" Joachim goes
on. describing the concerto as an
'echt Schumann' real Schu-
mann work. and how inspiring and
rhythmic are many of its parts, but
how difficult and against the violin
are many of its passages, and how
'uneffective' are other passages {.
"A mystery is shrouded around
Joachlm's decision not to play it or
edit it even after, or perhaps because
of, the masters sudden illness and
death. A mystery is also shrouded
around the will of Joachim and the
decision of his heirs that the Schu-
mann concerto was not to be played or
published until 100 years after the
death of Schumann, which would
mean the year 1856! Joachim died in
1907 and in the same year the Schu-
mann concerto was entombed with
his other personal documents In the
Berlin Staatsbibliothek. Thanks only
to the indomitable efforts of a great
admirer of Schumann. who is also
serious and responsible publisher of
music. Herr Wilhelm Strecker, the
head of B. Schotts Sohne of Mainz,
Germany, and thanks to the un-
bounded enthusiasm and encourage
ment constantly given him this sum-
mer by Yehudi Menuhin an imme-

a great work of Schumann, his last
opus, is vouchsafed to our generation

with his interest in and his playing
of the violin concerto that Schumann
wrote for the violinist Joachim and
which the latter declined to play in
public and stipulated in his will
should not be played for 100 years

Menuhin was the first to defy the
tradition Of indifference toward the
Schumann concerto-a tradition es-
tablished by Joachim's attitude toward
the concerto-and so fearlessly and
boldly did the young violinist indorse
