Einstein's Violin:
A Play in Three Movements
by Thomas Schuch
THE PLAY
Accompanied by classical music, Einstein begins to repair his precious violin, ’Lina.’ All the while he talks to a soon to be revealed muse about his love for music and its influence on his life and work. Did you know Einstein repaired his own violin? Your audience will learn about his favorite composers and gain an understanding of the physics of the violin and the creation of sound. Through Einstein’s words and the beautiful precision of classical music we celebrate the coming together of art, science, and love. |

~We wanted more, more music, more Einstein! ~My favorite moment was when Einstein was describing oscillating molecules riding on sound waves to the ear. What a great image! ~I never knew about Einstein’s love for music. I learned a lot! |
ABOUT The seed for this intimate look at Albert Einstein's relationship to music began the day Mr. Schuch was purchasing a new violin bow in Robertson & Sons Violin Shop in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Coincidentally, they happen to be repairing one of Einstein's violins! Mr. Schuch learned that Einstein would make simple repairs to his violin when needed. In this solo show, Einstein reveals a secret about his violin! Einstein's Violin had it's world premiere in January of 2016 at the Placitas Artist's Series in Placitas, NM. On stage with Dr. Einstein was the award-winning string quartet, Willy Sucre & Friends playing to an over-capacity audience of classical music lovers and Einstein fans. |
