- How did Midori get to Carnegie Hall? By fiddling around -- in
- fact, by practicing up to seven hours a day. On Oct. 25 the
- diminutive violinist from Osaka will celebrate her 18th birthday
- by making her debut at Carnegie. "It's going to be exciting," she
- says, "because I've spent so much time there, but on the other side
- of the stage." Now a Manhattan high school senior, Midori (who has
- dropped her surname Goto) browses in record shops like any other
- teenager. One new album soon to be in the racks: her dazzling
- version of the finger-fracturing Paganini caprices.
