David Stabler reported today<\/a> that John Dalley, the second violinist of the Guarneri Quartet (which is in its last season as an ensemble this year), has been stricken with cancer.<\/p>\n

John really has been the drive within the quartet – the id<\/em> to Arnold Steinhardt’s superego<\/em>.\u00c2\u00a0 His deep, focused tone has always been a firm foundation for Arnold’s gossamer strains, an intregral part to one of the world’s great quartets.<\/p>\n

I remember when I was at the University of Maryland, where the quartet was in a teaching residency, and I would have lessons on various repertoire with each of the members of the quartet when they came once a month to the school.\u00c2\u00a0 I brought in the Bruch Romanze to John for a lesson once, and he played the opening phrase on his violin – one version after another, five, six, seven different ways to phrase this one musical sentence, each equally valid, each equally compelling.\u00c2\u00a0 It was amazing to watch, and I learned so much just from watching his fingers and bow arm make these very different musical nuances.<\/p>\n

My thoughts go out to John, his family, and his compatriots in the quartet – I hope that treatment is successful and he continues to make great music.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
