Her parents thought she was too young for the violin, and persuaded her to start on the piano. But Anner-Sophie has always had a mind of her own. “I longed to play the violin,” she said. “It seemed to me a much more interesting instrument.” After six months, her parents gave in.
The famous violin teacher Erna Honigberger, who lived nearby, became Anner-Sophi’s tutor(家庭教师). After only nine months of lessons, she entered the six-year-old in a nationwide competition for young musicians. With Christoph accompanying her(为她伴奏)on the piano, Anner-Sophie’s won first prize.
In 1974, Erna Honigberger died. Anner-Sophie’s new teacher was Aida Stucki. She taught Anner-Sophe to develop her own ideas on how a piece should be played, not just to imitate(模仿)others. This is one of the violinist’s strongest, most distinctive characteristics(与众不同的特点)today.
Though the Mutters were short of money at times, they limited their daughter’s performances to one or two a year. “We are glad we went the family road,” said her father. “No outsider(外人)can ever have an effect on our daughter’s career(生涯) or push her into playing more concerts than she wants to.” Later she was allowed to give six to eight concerts a year and make some recordings. Only when she turned 18 did she begin her professional career.
67. It was_______ when Anner-Sophie asked for a violin.
