[Violinist] Auer, Leopold. (1845-1930). Signed Photograph. Signed photograph from the important violinist and influential pedagogue, teacher of Elman, Heifetz, Milstein, Zimbalist, Parlow, Schumsky and many others! A printed invitation to his eightieth birthday party given at the Rudolph Wurlitzer Company in New York City, signed and inscribed by Auer next to his photograph in ink to Alexander Lambert, Director of the New York College of Music. In very good condition, the photograph side in fine shape with some mild spotting and small stains around the edges, the verso heavily soiled and with losses from mounting. 17.5 x 15 cm. Signed photographs of Auer are very rare.
Leopold Auer spent nearly fifty years in St. Petersburg and exerted a decisive influence on the Russian violin school, following Vieuxtemps and Wieniawski as solo violin at the Imperial Ballet. Arensky, Glazunov, Taneyev and Tchaikovsky wrote their most important violin compositions for him. As for Tschaikovsky’s violin concerto, Auer refused the dedication, declaring it technically awkward and too long! After a few revisions to the violin part, he eventually played this monumental violin work in 1893, shortly before the composer’s death.
