| Soil Stradivarius |
Soil StradivariusThe ‘Soil’ Strad, (pronounced "shwah") or Stradivarius, of 1714 is a famous violin made by Italian luthier Antonio Stradivari of Cremona. A product of Stradivari’s ‘golden’ period, many consider it to be the finest Strad violin.
It is characterized by brilliant red varnish and a two-piece maple back with the flames of the grain joined, descending from the edges toward the center.
The instrument is named after Monsieur Soil, who owned it in 1902. The violin was eventually acquired by collector Oscar Bondy of Vienna. Bondy also owned the "Hellier" Stradivari of 1679. Yehudi Menuhin purchased it in 1950, and in 1986 he made it available to Itzhak Perlman, the present owner.

A Stradivarius (or "Strad") is a stringed instrument built by members of the Stradivari family, especially by Antonio Stradivari.
The playable instruments are highly prized by world-class musicians, and others who can afford them. Their individual qualities are considered worth distinguishing, and a Strad is often identified by the name of someone (often a famous musician) who formerly owned it, or regularly performed on it.
A Stradivarius made in the 1680s or during Stradivari's Brescian period (1690-1700) could be worth several hundred thousand dollars or more at today's prices in auction. If it was made during Stradivari's "golden period" (1700 to 1720), depending on condition, the instrument can be worth several million. They rarely come up for sale and the highest price paid for a Stradivarius at public auction was 'The Lady Tennant', made in 1699 which sold for US$2,032,000 in 2005. Private sales of Stradivari instruments have exceeded this price.
The world's only complete set of Stradivarius instruments (string quintet) belongs to the Spanish Government and consists of two violins, two cellos, and a viola. They are exhibited in the Music Museum at the Royal Palace (Palacio Real) of Madrid. Another important collection is the collection of the Royal Academy of Music (York Gate Collections) in London.
Many people find violins labeled or branded as "Stradivarius," and believe them to be genuine. It is believed that there are fewer than 700 genuine Strads left in existence, very few of which are unaccounted for.
These instruments are famous for the quality of their sound and there have been many attempts to reproduce the sound quality. Recent studies indicate that Antonio Stradivari may have used wood from an old cathedral for its construction which might be a reason for its sound quality.
The fame of Stradivarius Violins is not a modern phenomenon; the fictional detective Sherlock Holmes is supposed to have owned one. Another famous story is about a Stradivarius Cello, known as the "Duport" which has the spur marks of Emperor Napoleon, who scratched the cello when he tried to play it. They also played an important role in the James Bond film The Living Daylights.
The reputation of the Stradivarius is such that its name is frequently invoked as a standard of excellence in other, unrelated fields (such as ships and cars).

Yehudi Menuhin
The Right Honourable Yehudi Menuhin, Baron Menuhin, OM, KBE (April 22, 1916. New York City, United States – March 12, 1999, Berlin, Germany) was a Jewish American-born violinist, violist, and conductor who spent most of his performing career in the United Kingdom. He was a student of Louis Persinger, George Enescu, and Adolf Busch. The name Yehudi means 'Jew' in Hebrew.
Early career
Menuhin began learning violin at age three under the violinist Sigmund Anker. He gave his first performance as a solo violinist at the age of seven, alongside the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. He later studied under the Romanian composer and violinist George Enescu. After which he made several recordings with his sister Hephzibah who was a pianist.
World War II musician
Yehudi Menuhin performed for allied soldiers during World War II, and went with the composer Benjamin Britten to perform for the inmates of Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, after its liberation in April 1945. He went back to Germany in 1947 to perform music under the conductor Wilhelm Furtwangler as an act of reconciliation, becoming the first Jewish musician to go back to Germany after the Holocaust. After building early success on richly romantic and tonally opulent performances, he experienced considerable physical and artistic difficulties caused by overwork during World War II and unfocused early training. Careful practice and study combined with meditation and yoga helped him overcome many of these problems, and he continued to perform to an advanced age, becoming known for profound interpretations of an austere quality. When he finally started recording, he became famous for practicing pieces of music by deconstructing phrases one note at a time.
World interactions
In 1952, Menuhin met and befriended the influential yogi B.K.S. Iyengar. Menuhin arranged for Iyengar to teach abroad in London, Switzerland, Paris and elsewhere. This was the first time that many Westerners had been exposed to yoga.
In 1962 he established the Yehudi Menuhin School in Stoke d'Abernon, Surrey. He also established the music program at the Nueva School in Hillsborough, California sometime around then. In 1965 he received an honorary knighthood.
Later career
During the 1980s he made jazz recordings with Stéphane Grappelli and of Eastern music with the great sitarist Ravi Shankar. In 1985 he was awarded British citizenship and was now entitled to the accolade "Sir Yehudi" as his knighthood was no longer honorary. In 1993 he was created a life peer as Baron Menuhin, of Stoke D'Abernon in the County of Surrey. Lord Menuhin died in Berlin following a brief illness, from complications of bronchitis.
Yehudi Menuhin was survived by four children - Krov and Zamira from his first wife Nola Nicholas (daughter of an Australian industrialist) whom he divorced and two sons by his second wife Diana Gould (British ballerina and actress), Gerard and Jeremy.
Other trivia
His pupils include Nigel Kennedy and Hungarian violist Csaba Erdelyi.
Menuhin credited the German-Jewish philosopher Constantin Brunner with providing him with "a theoretical framework within which I could fit the events and experiences of life" (Conversations with Menuhin: 32-34).
Arguably the most famous of Menhuin's violins is the "Lord Wilton" Guarneri del Gesù violin made in 1742.
In 1990 he was awarded the prestigious Glenn Gould Prize in recognition of his lifetime of contributions.
Soon after his death, the Royal Academy of Music acquired the Yehudi Menuhin Archive, one of the most valuable and comprehensive collections ever assembled by an individual musician.
His son Gerard recently has been dismissed from his post as a chairman of the Yehudi-Menuhin-Stiftung for alleged neo-Nazi opinions.
In October 2004, the New Internationalist magazine told the story of how Menuhin got his name.
Obliged to find an apartment of their own my parents searched the neighbourhood and chose one within walking distance of the park. Showing them out after they had viewed it, the landlady said: “And you’ll be glad to know I don’t take Jews.” Her mistake made clear to her, the antisemitic landlady was renounced, and another apartment found. But her blunder left its mark. Back on the street my mother made a vow. Her unborn baby would have a label proclaiming his race to the world. He would be called “The Jew.”

- This, like Minix and XINU is one of the few operating systems to have been published with source code in book form. The book is ISBN 0879305435. This article is incredibly badly written, and appears to have been copied&pasted, although I don't know whence. I'd have a go at cleaning it up (which would probably be a rewrite from scratch), but I don't have the time right now, and there are other higher-priority things on my to-do list. Keep.

- Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 03:48, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
