LA Phil Violist Teng Li talks about her upcoming live performance (Aug. 11 at the Hollywood Bowl) of the one of the hardest-ever pieces for viola, Paganini's Grand Sonata for Viola; and Nathan Cole talks about playing the violin solos in Scheherazade by Rimsky-Korsakov. Both talk about their instruments - Teng's very large Zanetto viola from the late 1500's (wow!) and Nathan's "Jack Benny" Stradivari violin!
