Dear Marianne and the family of Zvi Zeitlin,
I send my deepest condolences from Vienna, Austria. I studied violin with Zvi from 1967-71 and even though I did not pursue a career as violinist, what I learned from him has had a lasting and positive impact on my life. What an amazing career he had! And how I wish I could have been there for his last recital. May his memory be for a blessing.
