“A cat or two must be hiding in the room,” she said, “meowing[6] in every key.”
When Auer realized that she was referring to his playing, he fainted. His father caught him before he fell to the floor. Vieuxtemps turned the entire debacle[7] into a joke, though, patted Auer on the cheek and told him everything would be all right. Leopold Auer went on to become one of the world’s great violinists, but he would never forget the setback he suffered at the age of fourteen.
能够为伟大的亨利• 维奥克斯腾普斯(比利时小提琴家——译者注)演出,应该不至于太糟吧,但小提琴家李奥坡• 奥尔却不得不忍气吞声,因为伴奏者——维奥克斯腾普斯妻子的粗鲁简直出乎他的想象。
这事儿大约发生在1859年,当时奥尔还是个学生。奥尔和他父亲去拜访小提琴家维奥克斯腾普斯,他很热情地接待了他们,但他的妻子——也是他的伴奏者却冷若冰霜。在闲谈了一阵奥尔的学业后,维奥克斯腾普斯让奥尔拿出小提琴演奏,奥尔那把小提琴质地并不太好。维奥克斯腾普斯夫人坐在钢琴旁,很不耐烦的样子。奥尔很紧张,颤抖着开始拉维奥克斯腾普斯的作品《幻想随想曲》。
多年后,当奥尔说起这段往事,他无法回忆起当时他到底拉得好不好,但他还记得,尽管他的技艺还不完美,却对每个音符都全神贯注。维奥克斯腾普斯微笑着鼓励他。
