Rothschild's Violin (Skripka Rotshil'da) by Anton Chekhov, | www.farmersmarketmusic.com
But during these years Chechov developed his concept of the dispassionate, non-judgemental author. He outlined his program in a letter to his brother Aleksandr: Absence of lengthy verbiage of political-social-economic nature; 2. Jacob also plays the violin with a Jewish band that performs at weddings in the town, which is another minor source of income.
But the miserly Jacob can never forget that the tinker who conducts the band generally pockets half the fee, and though he does not think much of the Jewish musicians, he has a particularly low opinion of Rothschild, who is named after the famous financier only in heavy-handed mockery of his utter destitution. As a musician Rothschild was known as a flute player who generally made even the merriest tunes sound miserable, and he and Jacob often nearly come to blows.
Rothschild's Violin
Despite his annoyance with the band, Jacob does find consolation in his wretched existence when he plays his violin. Things take a turn for the worse when Jacob's wife, Martha, dies. She is old and decrepit, and the staff at the hospital make little effort to save the life of an impoverished woman. As she lies dying, waiting for the last rites, Martha tries to make her husband remember happier days, 50 years before, when the couple had a baby and sat under the willow trees by the riverside.
To his horror Jacob finds that he has no recollection of it whatsoever.
The only satisfaction he has is in seeing his wife decently buried, and at a very moderate expense, in a coffin he had made for her shortly before her death. As he returns from the burial, Jacob begins to feel ill, and he is in anything but a good mood when Rothschild comes to tell him that he is needed to play at a wedding.
There is a good deal of the anti-Semitism that plagued Russia in the nineteenth century in Jacob's abuse of Rothschild, and he is rather pleased when he hears that the Jew has been bitten by the dogs that chased him off.
