One fall evening in 1995,while performing at Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center in New York City,Perlman had to deal with one additional trouble.Jack Reimer,a famous reporter with the Houston Chronicle,described the scene.“Just as he finished the first few bars,one of the strings on his violin broke.You could hear
the sound go off like gunfire across the room.There was no mistaking what that
sound meant.”
There was no mistaking what he had to do.People who were there said,“We
figured he would have to get up...to either find another violin or find another string
for this one.”
But he didn’t.Instead he waited a moment,closed his eyes,and then signaled
the conductor to begin again.The band and he played from where he had left off.He
played with enthusiasm and power.
Of course,it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings.But
that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that.You could see him modulate (调音),change,recompose the piece in his head.At one point,it sounded like he was tuning
the strings to get new sounds they had never made before.
1.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.It’s a piece of cake for Perlman to perform on the stage.
