Pentameters for a Pedagogue

Josef Gingold mentored Joshua Bell.

By all accounts he did it very well,

Instilling in the Indiana guy

The wisdom he had garnered from Ysaÿe.


He taught for years at Bloomington’s IU,

And troupes of gifted players cycled through

His studio to learn the outs and ins

Of virtuoso feats on violins.
