American violinist Aaron Rosand has passed away at the age of 92.
I interviewed Rosand several years ago when he was traveling through the area for a performance. In talking to him and discussing his extensive links to great teachers and performers he had worked with and encountered in his already long life, I said to him "You're really the last of the romantics, aren't you?". I don't remember his exact words, but his response was something along the lines of "Yes, I am".
In addition to performing, Rosand taught at the Curtis Institute, retiring only three months ago. Pneumonia was the cause of death.
