This episode of A Teacher Lineage explores Jacques Thibaud, the celebrated soloist and École Normale professor who left behind no method, no editions, and no études, yet drew remarkable violinists to his studio. Through his teacher Marsick, his mentor Ysaÿe, his devoted assistant Marcel Chailley, and the recollections of Ivry Gitlis, FitzP tries to uncover what Thibaud was really teaching, and why Gitlis remembered it as “the mechanics of the heart.”
