His 3 father, a chemist, sent him to the University of Christiania to study for the ministry(牧師) and 4 him to play his beloved violin. He soon 5 the course and, disobeying his father, 6 all his time and energy to the violin. Unfortunately, though he had great ability, his teachers were 7 unskilled, so that by the time he was ready to start his concert 8 he wasn’t prepared.

In Italy a Milan newspaper 9 wrote: “He is a (n) 10 musician. If he be a diamond, he is certainly in the 11 and unpolished.”

He went to the newspaper office and asked to see the critic. The 14 editor introduced him. Ole spent the evening with the 70-year-old critic, asked about his faults, and 15 the old man’s advice on how to correct them.
