Feuermann, Emanuel. (1902–1942)

Original Photograph

Original doubleweight matte photograph of the great cellist in action. Slightly uneven margins; overall fine. 7.5 x 9.5 inches (19.1 x 24.3 cm). We have been unable to positively identify the photographer, but this nevertheless an especially attractive and sensitive original portrait. 

"Feuermann, arguably more than Casals, was responsible for revolutionizing cello technique. His astonishing technical facility made him the first cellist to play with the ease of a violinist, while his purity of tone, intensity of sound, clarity of articulation and fine musicianship mark him out as one of the greatest string players of the 20th century." (New Grove) (16218)
