The sudden death of Rachel Duncan, principal trumpet of the Charlottesville Symphony, has called to the minds of several readers two other recent tragedies that befell students in her Curtis year.

Jamie Dietz was a brilliant percussionist who died at 33.

Even more promising was the pianist Christopher Falzone, a protege of Martha Argerich who jumped to his death from a hospital window in Geneva in 2014, aged 29.

May their good souls find rest.
