The violinist in the story, Philippe Quint, performs Korngold violin concerto, 2nd mvmt:
The cab driver who returned the violin, is honored by the City of Buffalo:

(UPI) NEWARK, New Jersey: Grammy-nominated violinist PHILIPPE QUINT has been reunited with a $4 million (BD1.5m) violin he left in the back of a taxi cab. Quint exited a cab at New York City's Battery Park, leaving the 1723 Antonio Stradivari 'Ex-Keisewetter' inside.The violin spent the remainder of the night on the seat of the cab, which owner Mohamed Khalil parked on a Newark street. Frantic Quint called the Port Authority of New York and the Taxi Commission, which put word out that the violin was missing. In the afternoon, Khalil checked his taxi and discovered the violin. Quint soon arrived, dropped to his knees and shed tears of joy.

weston 回複 悄悄話 回複OregonRain的評論:
說得好.像我們第一代來美的,大概都得過不少"高人"相助.
OregonRain 回複 悄悄話 美國的活雷鋒真的很多哦。唉,我很久以前在國內時聽大家說雷鋒出國了。不過我見到的,聽到的多於國內。大概是我的偏見吧。算了,還不如說這是人類的美德。就象音樂一樣沒有國屆。
