Posture and Presence

Inner stillness of Yehudi Menuhin1 maintaining a majestic steadiness in his posture, simple and gentle movement, each gesture commanding and exquisite wave of sound.

Cultivate your own presence, bring more of your inner strength and conviction. Practice this and cultivate presence. Bruser & Menuhin (1999, pp. 44–45).
