6383YEHUDI MENUHIN 1916-1999. Menuhin a British musician is considered one of the greatest violinist of the Twentieth Century.TLS. 1pg. 8 x 10. March 29 1968. London. A typed letter signed Yehudi Menuhin to Mrs. Levine of New York City: I was most interested to learn that you were writing a book on the anatomy of greatness and obliged to you from putting your two questions so concisely. The difficulty of course is to answer your first question: apart from the constant inspiration one receives from one's colleagues and new works in my case both my parents and each of my teachers had great influence on me in earlier years period I think however that I must elect George Enesco as the person who has exercised the greatest influence on my development and I am sending you a short note I have written about this remarkable man. Perhaps you would be kind enough to return this to me in due course. With every good wish for the success of your work. Enesco was a Romanian composer conductor and violinist. The letter is on blue paper with a massive autograph. unknown

1969453j1623Beirut Lebanon: The Institute For Palestine Studies. Good. 1969. Second Impression. Hardcover. "Are Americans of the Jewish faith truly American Or are they Americans by convenience only temporarily in exile from the Israeli 'homeland' Examines the political Zionist movement and concludes that 'Jewish' nationalism as expounded by David Ben Gurion and other Israeli leaders is a worldwide subverting force inimical to Jews of all nations and a distortion of the Jewish faith. As a conscientious Jew Menuhin 1893-1982 was particularly concerned with the gradual uprooting of the Arabs of Palestine and the bitter hatred that developed between the Arab world and 'Jewish' nationalists from 1918 to the present. As a lifelong observer and student of Jewish history - the father of famed violinist Yehudi Menuhin - he spent ten years writing this book." - dust jacket of the first printing. vi-xxiv 3-589 pp. Index. In later years Menuhin wrote "Premonitions assailed me even before this book was published concerning attempts that would be made to suppress it. I knew very well of the existence of a well-oiled and powerful Zionist network of publishers editors religious leaders of all faiths and politicians but still I was not prepared for the nation-wide assault which stopped my book in its tracks stifled every move I made and left me isolated and crushed and my character assassinated in the American Jewish sphere." - Jewish Critics of Zionism and The Stifling and Smearing of a Dissenter p.55. "Moshe Menuhin has great capacity to fire with indignation at wrongs in the world but exercises a wise restraint before ever taking hasty action. Above all else I admire he has always been true to himself." - Sidney M. Ehrman.
