As a violinist I think of lunch too many times :p

He probably thinks about what's for lunch.

Does Mintz have some kind of a disability? I mean no offense.. but his expression always seems so.. aloof and out of touch, although his playing certainly doesn't sound like it. His renditions of the caprices are among my very favorites, but I always wonder what he's thinking as he plays.

Probably only with a little more showiness to it. From all accounts Paganini was a bit of a showman on stage.

Fine, I can respect your opinion, and I feel stupid arguing, but I don't think you get my point. You seem to think that what I mean is that it should be played slower and more "emotional" and less clean as a way to justify its difficulty. On the contrary, I think it's more difficult to play it fast and clean and to add a level of musicality which clearly imitates opera so that it doesn't just sound like a robotic exercise.

I see where this argument is going. It will come down to it being a matter of taste. Personally I'm a well educated violist (I went to Eastman) I've seen countless violinists try to play pieces that are too hard for them and justify their lack of technique by "emoting" in the fast passages. In my experience a true virtuoso can be musical without slowing down in the fast difficult passages. But don't call my statement ignorant simply because you disagree with it.
