“Franz von Vecsey was a Hungarian violinist, conductor, and composer [who] was a child prodigy in the early part of the last century but is for the most part now forgotten. Béla Bartók served as his piano accompanist for a time. The Sibelius violin concerto was dedicated to him (in 1905) when he was only 12 years old. Although he did not premiere the concerto, he first played the Sibelius concerto one year later. He studied with Jenö Hubay from age 8 and it has been said that he became Hubay’s favorite pupil. His début took place on 17 May, 1903 in Berlin. He was ten years old and on that occasion played the Beethoven concerto while Joseph Joachim conducted the orchestra. Afterward, he studied with Leopold Auer in St Petersburg. Jenö Hubay dedicated his third violin concerto (probably his best-known among the four he composed) to Vecsey. Later, after concertizing for about ten years, Vecsey married into an aristocratic family where he managed his career from a palace in Venice. It has been suggested that he became psychologically scarred after serving in the Austrian army during World War I and that his career suffered as a result. He was very interested in a conducting career in the mid-1930s but became seriously ill just about then and died after an unsuccessful operation in Rome. Vecsey’s compositional output consisted mainly of miniature violin works.” - Prone to Violins, 26 June, 2016

“Until the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Dezso d’Antalffy continued composing. He began performing abroad, and his expertise in organ-building was recognized. At the height of his career in 1917, he was the chief organist at St. Stephan's Basilica in Budapest (playing the largest organ in the country, built by József Angster in 1905. d'Antalffy arrived in New York on 4 January, 1921, and appeared onstage as an accompanist on January 21. After the success of a concert with Duci Kerékjártó on the violin, they set off on a several-month tour in which d'Antalffy and Kerékjártó traveled across the country. Invited by entrepreneur Samuel Roxy Rothafel, d'Antalffy became the organist of the two-year-old Capitol Theatre, (where he played a concert the following April establishing him as the ‘Dohnányi of the organ’ in the press). The 4,000-seat Capitol Theatre, was a forerunner of the later cinema palaces.” - Wikipedia

“I’ve always wondered whether that old business about Leopold Stokowski going by the name ‘Stokes’ had something to do with Leo Strockoff, who went by, and recorded under, the name ‘Strock’ as well as his own real name. In any case this means that violin collectors have to keep their wits about them, and one should never neglect a Strock lest it should turn out to be a Strockoff. About this fiddler, there’s not much written, but apart from Anglicising his name he recorded exclusively for English Columbia and spent his adult years in Britain, [best known for having made the first recording of the Lalo ‘Symphonie Espagnole’, in 1924].” - Jonathan Woolf, MusicWebInternational.com

“In the world of violin playing, Eugèn Ysaÿe straddled the 19th and 20th centuries like a colossus. Ysaÿe studied with Wieniawski and Vieuxtemps at the Brussels Conservatory, where he absorbed the modern, ‘pulsating’ ‘French’ style of vibrato and Wieniawski’s tonal intensity and beauty, and through Ysaÿe’s influence these were disseminated through Western Europe. Fritz Kreisler, Jacques Thibaud and Georges Enescu called him ‘the master of us all’. Ysaÿe plays each piece with more emotional involvement and interpretive insight than today’s artists would see fit to expend on them. He is also the most impulsive violinist I have ever heard. As I listen I feel as though I am eavesdropping on his most private thoughts [giving me] the feeling of being transported back to a strange place and time [notably in Wagner’s Albumblatt in C].” - Joseph Magil, AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE, May/June, 1997

“Paul Kochanski was a Polish violinist, composer, teacher, and arranger born in 1887 when Brahms was 54 years old. He first studied with his father then, at age 7, with Emil Mlynarski, one of the founders of the Warsaw Philharmonic. In 1901, Mlynarski, having by then become a conductor, invited the then fourteen-year-old Kochanski to be concertmaster of the Philharmonic. That probably made him - with the possible exception of Amadeus Mozart – the youngest concertmaster in history. In 1903, Kochanski found himself at the Brussels Conservatory. By 1908, he was touring Europe with Arthur Rubinstein. He became professor of violin at the Warsaw Conservatory in 1909 and was there until 1911. In 1916, Karol Szymanowski dedicated his first violin concerto to Kochanski, who had written the cadenza for it. In that same year, he took over for Leopold Auer at the St Petersburg Conservatory. He also taught for a year (1919-1920) at the Kiev Conservatory. During this time, he advised Prokofiev on matters of technique having to do with Prokofiev’s first violin concerto. Kochanski made his Carnegie Hall début in 1921, playing Brahms' Violin Concerto. From 1922, he lived in New York, becoming the head of the violin teaching staff at Juilliard (1924-1934.) In 1933, Kochanski premiered Szymanowski’s second Violin Concerto and again Szymanowski dedicated the work to him. On 12 January, 1934, at age 47, Kochanski died [of stomach cancer]. Among his pall bearers were Jascha Heifetz, Fritz Kreisler, and Efrem Zimbalist. Among Kochanski's pupils was Jacques Singer.” - Prone to Violins, 14 Sept., 2009
