Nobody can be a great violinist and a great pianist. Just impossible. Michael Jordan tried to play baseball, but only succeeded in making a complete fool out of himself.
Sure, lot's of people can, and have, played piano, and drawn a bow across strings. Heifetz himself could play a little piano. But, to be able to play at a high level, at a world class concert level...that's just impossible. There aren't enough hours in a day to practice both. To play at this level requires 8 hours or more of daily practice. Then, you also have to allow time for bathroom breaks, meals, showers, maybe even a brief walk outside.
I'm just flabbergasted...and in awe. And, I really just can't believe it. If such persons exist as that young lady, then they must superhumans.
