	Jascha Heifetz - The Violinist of the Century, Classical Notes, Peter Gutmann
		Heifetz’s brilliant and exciting stereo versions of the most popular concertos are on a 5-disc set, awkwardly packaged in a flimsy cardboard sleeve containing a double and triple box.
		Heifetz recorded all ten and they comprise volume 16; earlier versions of #s 3, 8 and 9, the latter with Benno Moiseiwitsch, are on volumes 7 and 10.
		Heifetz provides definitive versions of youthful sonatas by Ferguson and Khachaturian (Karen, not the more famous Aram), both on volume 43; they’re pleasant and the latter is graced with a magnificent andante and a bounding finale; his accompanist in these is Lillian Steuber, a colleague when he taught at USC.

	Jascha Heifetz by Tim Page
		Heifetz’s first recording of the Sibelius concerto, with Sir Thomas Beecham and the London Philharmonic Orchestra—appropriately cool and sometimes stern, yet always deeply felt and even seductive—has long been the standard by which other performances were judged and found wanting.
		Heifetz’s command of his instrument is virtually flawless, of course, but he is not satisfied with mere athleticism.
		In general, Heifetz’s recordings of Beethoven’s ten sonatas for violin and piano are fleet, furious, charged with dramatic tension—“shot from guns,” as the old advertising slogan might have had it.

	Talk:Jascha Heifetz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jascha Heifetz was a Jew who saw nothing wrong with playing German Nazi music - Heifetz insisted on playing the compositions of German Nazi Reich Music Chamber President Richard Strauss the official head of the Third Reich's music culture bureaucracy before and during the Holocaust.
		Heifetz did not play the Nazi music at his next performance and canceled his tour by running home to his luxury estate in Beverly Hills, California.
		Heifetz is probably the greatest violinist of all time, and certainly did not contribute to the Holocaust, should we be so quick to judge his actions?

	Legendary Violinists. Jascha Heifetz
		His father, Ruben Heifetz, an able musician, taught him the rudiments of violin playing at a very early age; he then studied with Ilya Malkin at the Vilnius Music School, and played in public before he was 5 years old; at the age of 6, he played Mendelssohn's Concerto in Kovno.
		The Olympian quality of Heifetz's playing was unique in luminous transparency of texture, tonal perfection, and formal equilibrium of phrasing; he never allowed his artistic temperament to superimpose extraneous elements on the music; this inspired tranquillity led some critics to characterize his interpretations as impersonal and detached.
		Heifetz made numerous arrangements for violin of works by Bach, Vivaldi, and contemporary composers; his most famous transcription is "Hora Staccato" by Grigoraş Dinicu, made into a virtuoso piece by adroit ornamentation and rhythmic elaboration.

	American Association of School Administrators - Publications - The School Administrator - Heifetz on Public Leadership
		Heifetz: I think NCLB represents, at the level of orienting values for the educational system, a major challenge by articulating an aspiration that has rarely if ever been taken seriously in the history of American education.
		Heifetz: Different classrooms even within the same building are going to require different adaptations because different teachers bring to their work different talents and weaknesses.
		Heifetz: It wasn’t until about the third workshop that they began to let down their guards—that was six or eight months into it.

	Sonatas and Partitas for Solo Violin by Jascha Heifetz at jsbach.org
		This Heifetz' performance can hardly be surpassed by any other violinist (as brilliant as he/she might be) because he was a perfectionist and possessed an outstanding command of the instrument what enabled him to play these pieces not only faithfully to the metronome but also displaying a show of interpretation and passion.
		The Heifetz recordings of J. Bach's Sonatas and Partitas appear to have been some of the early attempts of the "Direct to Disk" technology where the live recording signal was transferred directly to the record cutter, (probably an Ortofon) which became the record mold.
		Heifetz is fallaciously known for his superb technique, more correctly his pretension is to race through many of his performances at a blistering pace.

	Jascha Heifetz by Tim Page
		Heifetz, in common with other early “superstars” such as Toscanini and Horowitz, was not only expected to play everything but to play everything equally well—the Baroque and Classical repertories, the Romantic sonatas and concertos, a cautious smattering of contemporary music.
		Heifetz’s first recording of the Sibelius concerto, with Sir Thomas Beecham and the London Philharmonic Orchestra—appropriately cool and sometimes stern, yet always deeply felt and even seductive—has long been the standard by which other performances were judged and found wanting.
		In general, Heifetz’s recordings of Beethoven’s ten sonatas for violin and piano are fleet, furious, charged with dramatic tension—“shot from guns,” as the old advertising slogan might have had it.

	Commentary Magazine - Heifetz the Virtuoso (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Although he is the most popular and widely-recorded violinist of this century, possessing, by general agreement, the greatest violin technique in living memory, Jascha Heifetz has been the subject of critical controversy ever since he burst upon the music world nearly sixty years ago.
		...Heifetz allows it to grow in tension until, toward the end of the movement when it is presented in the bass with chords piled on top of it, it emerges heavy with drama and authority...
		...All this hostility to Heifetz is at least to some extent the reflection of a general skepticism over the role of technical virtuosity in performance, and in the fabric of music itself...

	The Change Project: Ronald Heifetz interview
		As director of the Leadership Education Project, Ronald Heifetz has been addressing this problem head-on for over a decade in what is reported to be the single most popular course at Harvard's Kennedy School of Government.
		He's a surgeon, a psychiatrist, and a Julliard-trained cellist, but he has chosen this as his metier - the practical problems of leadership, a subject which might be called, "How to make a difference."
		Using such cases as Martin Luther King's civil rights leadership, Heifetz pulls leadership apart along two fault lines: the difference between leadership and authority, and the difference between technical answers and adaptive work.
