  • Trivia
    Because of the 1929 crash, Boris's father, Paul Vian had to lease his big house, keeping only a smaller one in the property for his family. Yehudi Menuhin thus became a neighbor of Boris Vian. Paul Vian got killed in 1944 by bandits in his house and the property was sold because of the family trauma.
