[Violinist] Auer, Leopold. (1845-1930) [Elman, Mischa. (1891-1967)]. Autograph Musical Quotation [Tchaikovsky Violin Cto.] & Photograph with young Elman. Rare large AMQS from the important violinist and influential pedagogue, teacher of Elman, Heifetz, Milstein, Zimbalist, Parlow, Schumsky and many others! A large oblong sheet with hand-ruled staves along the left side, the top line inscribed with a line from the first movement of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto, signed and inscribed beneath to the German conductor and wine merchant, Henry Ettling, and dated London, 31 May, 1906. On the right side of the sheet is a mat window framing a slightly trimmed original cabinet photograph of a seated Auer holding an umbrella, with a young Mischa Elman, who had begun studying with him just four years prior, at the age of 11. The sheet meauring overall 31 x 20 cm and in fine condition. This is the first Auer AMQS we have had.
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.
Henry Ettling (1854–1908) was a wine merchant from Mainz, nicknamed Uncle Klingsor' by his friend Edward Elgar after the sorcerer in Parsifal because of his conjuring tricks. A friend of Hans Richter and an amateur timpanist, he played for the Worcestershire Philharmonic Society and even, on occasion, for Richter's Hallé Orchestra.
