Published: July 29, 1986

Two days after her triumphant appearance at Tanglewood, the 14-year-old Japanese violinist Midori returned to her home in New York. Everything had changed. Now there were interviews to give, phone calls to return, photographers and news cameramen flocking outside the door, waiting for a glimpse of the young prodigy.

On Saturday night, Midori played Leonard Bernstein's Serenade for Violin and String Orchestra at Tanglewood, under the composer's direction, in a performance that John Rockwell of The New York Times called ''technically near-perfect.'' In the fifth movement, Midori broke a string. Unfazed, she borrowed the concertmaster's violin and continued playing.

The Violin Song

she plays violin, violin,
plays it so fair, plays it so well,
voices of angels, no my friend,
a 12 year old playin' violin... x

MUSIC IS TRUTH
Heartfelt vocals with tasteful treatments .based upon actual event by young violinist when a string broke and she used another violin to finish performance with a standing ovation
