Igudesman’s “Crazy World of Violin Playing”


This is the first in a series of road movies Aleksey Igudesman has started to make. It features Julian Rachlin, Maxim Vengerov, Nicola Benedetti, Pavel Vernikov and his humble self on the piano, an instrument he can not play to save his life. On the whole it displays quite acurately how weird violinists really are.

why do all children behave in more or less the same way around the world? for example playing same games etc?

for instance when i was young i used to play teacher-teacher which means i would act just like my teacher and practise teaching at home. today i notice my cousins doing just the same.
2. when i was youn i always used to try on my mother’s or elder cousin’s smart sandals. today i see my young cousins doing just the same.
my question is how come? how come girls develop the lust for same things at this particular age.
whereas if talking about boys, they either play with their guns or play any outdoor game but don’t do what their female counterparts do. why? what is the factor behind that prompts them to do all this?
thanking you in anticipation
and waiting for your answers.
