    I was Gary's 2nd student; he was 18, I was 14. He's genius and a wonderful man. I played the Eccles for my audition to Juilliard. I was awarded a full scholarship for my master's--but dayam, I got married instead.

    What a short sighted comment for Mr. Sears. This performance was recorded in 1969. Gary Karr is an awesome musician as well as an wonderful person. His body of work will stand the test of time and it is great to hear his voice discussing his feelings in those times. I can only imagine what it would be like to hear Dragonetti's voice discussing his times and emotions.

    This is a good illustration of the difference between virtuosity and the rest of us. Nothing discouraging because we can all enjoy playing at every level; old/young, good/not so good/ any style, just enjoy.

    It's so bizarre to me to hear how his uncle was upset at the idea that he wanted to be a musician, rather than being supportive.

    • @IamUncledeuce

      The odds of making a living as a musician (not fame but a living) is daunting. My uncle was a pro and a good one, he told me that "music is wonderful, something to enjoy, learn, grow" etc.... "but it's a lousy way to make a living" and he did pretty good at it but his greatest success was a music academy which he started in the 50's and through the 70's, all the gigging back in the 30's, 40's and 50's was very hard work, long hours, lot's of road time, flea bag hotels... the works. So... I play, and gig a little but the bread and butter came from electrical work... which my uncle also told me to "have a trade to fall back on like... like... an electrical. Electrical work has been very good and I'm glad to have gotten his advise and that I took it to heart.

    If I ever had the title of virtuoso attached my name, and I was being profiled, I could guarantee the music would be more interesting than my talking. Same thing goes for Gary Karr here. It's like oh wow what really would add to the music here is if I talked all over it.

    • @rickshaw2006

      The voiceover was a producer's decision, not Gary Karr's. So go ahead, work on being a virtuoso and then broadcast your profile however you want. You've got TH-cam to do that now. Gary Karr didn't have that when this was made. He had 30 minutes on TV (less time for commercials) that was under the control of a director and producer, not him.

    No one respects the German bow anymore.
