In Reply to: Back around 1970, I remember hearing a radio interview with Vladimir Ashkenazy posted by Chris from Lafayette on April 21, 2021 at 02:27:08:
When I say collapsed left wrist, I mean collapsed backwards, so that the neck of the violin is resting on the heel of the hand.
Of course, the early violin teaching I was subjected to was so Jurassic, that decades later, in adult life, I needed a bone graft in the bottom rear of my left jaw, to deal with the consequences.
