...training [at the ART] has always been based on the Stanislavsky method," Brustein said. "Now we'll have the people whom Stanislavsky actually taught passing his method along to our students...
...This form poses some practical problems: the challenge is making the soloists truly stand apart from the orchestral strings. The concerto traditionally accomplishes this in three ways: alternation of solo and orchestral passages; dynamic, registral, and rhythmic isolation; and use of the instrument's individual tone color. This last method, in the case of the string quartet, is the hardest: the quartet's tone color is easily blanketed by the larger orchestral strings.
