"On a trip through Russia, the famous Russian composer Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (1865-1936) heard young Schuster and was impressed with his talent." As this statement is written, Glazunov was making the trip. If, as I suspect, the traveler was Schuster, we need something more like "When the young Schuster made a trip through Russia, Russian composer Alexander Konstantinovich Glazunov (1865-1936) heard him and was impressed with his talent." Trouble is, I don't know which is correct, and without any references, I can't quickly check. That raises a second, and more serious, issue: the article needs references. I started the ball rolling by setting up the heading and adding a reference for a factoid that I added regarding a subsequent owner/user of Schuster's cello, but I fear that's just a drop in the bucket.

Expelled from Berlin Phil

edit

The reason he "left" the Berlin Philharmonic in 1934 was that he was expelled due to his Jewish ancestry.

This is documented in Misha Aster's book , "The Berlin Philharmonic and the Third Reich" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.119.204.117 (talk) 04:23, 5 February 2016 (UTC)Reply
