In 2006, Augustin Hadelich won the International Violin Competition of Indianapolis, an annual contest for young violinists. His appearance on Sunday at the Walter Reade Theater is the first of four major events in New York this season, and the others are not church basement affairs — two are at Carnegie Hall and one is at the Rose Theater.

Mr. Hadelich, born in Italy to German parents, is, of course, his own man, but there were some similarities in style and substance to Mr. Bell.
