Acknowledgements I would like to express my deep appreciation to Eugenia Zukerman. Without her recollections we would be missing an important element of who Jacqueline du Pré was as a performer and a person. The letter she allowed us to include in this volume was one of many correspondences they had from 1967 until Jackie’s demise in 1987. Also, thanks to Eugenia’s generosity we were able to include some of her personal photos taken while on tour with the trio (, Jacqueline du Pré and ). I would also like to thank Daisaku Ikeda, President of the Soka Gakkai International for his personal encouragement to continue the development of this series of books and through it my determination to connect future generations of youth to the grand legacy we share as musicians and cellists. Thanks also to Jessica and FangLiu Chen who have continued to inspire me to reach out all over the world and help young people develop their interest in and talent on the cello. They have been an important link to introducing my books in Taiwan.

Preface I am now into the fourth book of our Legacy Series which has far surpassed my dreams. I visualized it as a series which would keep alive the names, life and cellistic work of some of our most important cello “ancestors.” Working on this extended project has brought me closer to these important cello mentors. Meeting with friends, students and relatives of each has brought a more personalized view. The interviews have evolved into a way of seeing the impact each artist had on his close circle of friends and family. This also gave me access to pictures and materials that had not been published before. The manuscripts in Feuermann’s own handwriting which Marika Hughes allowed us to use in the Feuermann book were a remarkable source that had never been seen before. The pictures, letter and recollections from Eugenia Zukerman in the du Pré book were also materials that had never been published before this. Tim Janof’s interviews in the Rostropovich Memoriam were great materials that, although available on the internet, had rarely been seen by many cellists. The photos and aid from Marta Casals Istomin added so much impact to the first book, The Casals Legacy. In this book, The du Pré Legacy, my idea was to transcribe Jacqueline du Pré’s bowings and fingerings for the Elgar Concerto. I used a well-known video with Daniel Barenboim . This was a challenge and a larger job than I had anticipated, but it was rewarding to explore what her choices had been. It took many arduous hours checking the video to make sure I samplehad seen the details correctly. However, it was worth the effort, because so many people had anxiously waited to see them in print. I thank David Dutkanicz, the production manager at Carl Fischer, who has so enthusiastically continued to support my vision and
