No, if the standard is a star soloist, and if the criterion is music alone. But can she make some kind of
respectable career--certainly in her home country--probably yes. But if you are interested in the exceptional
and the very best--then that seems she does not present the best case. I just want to be fair. To be able to play
the Sibelius concerto at all, sufficient to get into Julliard is an accomplishment, and a non trivial one. That does
not mean one is therefore competitive in the concert world and that one would get to play it at Carnegie Hall
(where I was last night playing with a great pianist Piers Lane, from England by way of Australia). And I do
not know if she has a distinctive musical intelligence that compensates for some shortcoming in the surface
brilliance of the athleticism--the way Robert Mann, Alexander Schneider and Gidon Kremer--all great artists
whose violin playing was on the highest level but not by virtue of virtuosity alone but owing to the character of
thought and originality.

I spoke to Laurie Smukler. She just took over from Steven Clapp, who was your friend's teacher (and head of
the violin department at Julliard) until he died very recently. Laurie has heard her play--in order to decide to
take her as a student. Laurie is an old friend and colleague and has taught here for years (she has seven
students at Bard). Your friend played the Sibelius concerto for the audition and Laurie thought it was good and
interesting enough to take her on. Her first lesson is Monday. But for the time being Laurie believes that there
is sufficient reason to believe that she can have a career in music. She won't necessarily become the leading
soloist, but she could become part of a major orchestra or chamber ensemble. So for the time being, it doses
not seem a total waste of time and money. Laurie will keep mew posted. Let's see what kind of progress she
makes over the next months.
I hope this helps.
