半个世纪以来一直站在小提琴演奏艺术高峰的梅纽因先生于一九七九年十一月底至十二月初来到北京访问。他对邀请他来华的中国音乐家协会主席吕骥热情地说:“多少年来我盼望着今天,总算和中国的同行们见了面,终于来到了你们这个有着古老文化又很年轻的国家。” Mr. Menin, who had been standing at the peak of violin playing art for half a century, came to Beijing from late November to early December 1979. He warmly said to Lv Ji, the president of the Chinese Musicians Association who invited him to China: “I have been looking forward to today for many years and I have finally met my Chinese counterparts and finally came to you, an old country with ancient culture. ”
