Alexanian played chamber music with Brahms, performed concertos with Mahler, taught alongside Casals in Paris, and saw his influential ideas shape the careers of such cellists as the legendary Gregor Piatigorsky. He received the highest praise from Casals, in the preface to this volume: "...[in] the only work of its kind...even experienced virtuosos will find...food for instructive meditation."
