Throughout his short life, violinist Michael Rabin had far more difficulties with daily living than with playing the violin.
Relating how Rabin’s parents took him out of school at age 10 to practice all day, which meant he could no longer play with other kids, Feinstein writes that ‘an important developmental trajectory was truncated’ denying Rabin any life outside of music to sustain him emotionally.
Feinstein saves his sharpest knives for Rabin’s mother who, according to Rabin’s sister, would scream at him, hit him and make him repeat a passage 100 times when he played out of tune.
