Violinist Monuhinf a musical legend,
relates his 'Unfinished Journey'
By Maurice Samuelaon
One of the 20th century’s out
standing violinists owes his
name to an anti-Semitic remark
by a New York landlady. On
hearing it, his mother vowed
that her unborn child would
forever bear the Hebrew word
for “Jew.” Yehudi Menuhin
relates the episode in his
autobiography, “Unfinished
Journey" which was published
by Alfred A. Knopf.
A legend in his own lifetime,
the 60-year-old maestro tells the
story of his life as a musician, a
humanist and as a proud son of
the Jewish people. Wielding the
pen as lightly as his bow, he ex
plains his father’s militant anti-'
Zionism, his own qualified love
affair with Israel and his;
defiance of the Soviet Union. He
also sheds new light on the anti-
Israel campaign in UNESCO in
1975 and his attempts to recon
cile Israeli and Arab musicians.
Menuhin’s parents were both
born in Russia and lived for a
time in Palestine before meeting
in the United States. Yehudi’s
father, Moshe, embraced the
United States as his homeland
and earned his living, first in
New York and later in San Fran
cisco, as a teacher of Hebrew.
Yehudi’s two sisters were also
given Hebrew names —
Hephzibah and Yalta — and
Hebrew was the language of
Yehudi’s infancy. However, he
no longer remembers how to
read or write it.
Yehudi visited Israel first in
1950, even though, as a world
famous musician he had
prpOiously played in many other
countries since making his debut
at the age of seven. Before the
visit to Israel he had enraged
many Jews in the United States
by playing with Wilhelm
Furtwaengler, the great German
conductor in Berlin.
Nevertheless, he was given a
warm reception in Israel: “To
meet a tolerance that accepted

me, forgiving my stubborn par
tisanship of Furtwaengler, was a
heart-warming experience.” He
had also visited President Chaim
Weizmann, who had “confided to
us his fear that the opportunities
offered by the Jewish State — to
be a soldier, a farmer, a builder
— might sap the strength of
Jewish excellence in philosophy,
scholarship, music, the abstract
accomplishments of the
diaspora.” •:
Menuhin says he believes that
Weizmann was wrong, or at any
rate had not yet been proved
right: “The founding of the State
not only opened up new paths
but fueled a tremendous upsurge
in artistic activity and other
traditional Jewish modes of ex
pression," he writes.
Though Menuhin himself “can
never be a Zionist.” Israel had

taken him by storm: “To lift
one’s head from two thousand
years of books and find one can
wield gun or plow, to disinter the
language of one’s forefathers
and give it currency in
kindergartens, to absorb into a
little strip of land thousands of
poor broken people from every
corner of the world and build
from them a society clamorous
with life and energy, cultured,
democratic, and for the most
part civilized — it takes a cooler
head and a soberer heart than
mine to resist the attraction.”
He expresses his pride that
Israel had given the world more
than its share of great perfor
ming musicians — Daniel
Barenboim, Gary Bertini,
Pinchas Zukerman and Itzak
Perlman.
Golda Meir is depicted as “an
enchanting personality of true
Russian spontanigty, big
hearted enough to be the world
mother.’’ However, when
Menuhin had tried to engage
Mrs. Meir’s sympathy for the
Palestinian refugees in 1974,
“her commitment could not
reach so far: the refugees were
th6 Jews, come, understandably
enough, to fulfill themselves, not
liberate others. All the tame, I
grieve that chances of
magnanimity should be I6et.” ’
