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.
