...DIED. ISAAC STERN, 81, classical violinist who played everything from Bartok to Bach in his own impassioned style; of heart failure; in New York City. He practiced obsessively. "I have begged him not to play so much," manager Sol Hurok told the New York Times in 1959. "I tell him, 'The less you play, the longer you will play.' It does no good."
