'The Morini Strad' plays on modest, artful thoughts

post-gazette.com: "Much credit, then, to the world premiere of Willy Holtzman's 'The Morini Strad' at City Theatre, in which the dialogue is indeed artful: sharp, witty, sometimes pensive and sympathetic, occasionally seductive. But there are few of the pyrotechnics of which even a solo instrument is capable. At just under 90 minutes, this is narrative imbued with different moods (comedy, sonnet, georgic, elegy), never building to something explosive. Its emotions are generally modest, but they ring true.
