Abstract

Dorothy DeLay died on March 24, 2002, and with her passing the world lost much more than a Master Teacher of violin. She was arguably the shaper not only of current violin solo playing, but also of a significant percentage of the playing of the violin sections of most of our major orchestras. Beyond their music, she had a profound influence on her students and on the rest of us who were lucky enough to be able to call her a friend. She was larger than life and is one of those people of influence whose passing is difficult to accept as final. It is hard to conjure up a Juilliard, or an Aspen Music School, or the world of violin pedagogy without Dottie.
