Morini, Erica. (1904-1995)
Signed Program
Signed undated Community Concert Association (San Francisco) recital program from the Austrian violinist who has boldly signed in brown ink. Also signed in pencil by pianist, Leon Pommer. Two file holes, otherwise fine.A student of Ottokar Sevcik, she made her Berlin debut under Nikisch in 1917. One of the finest violinists of the 20th century, she was the first woman to record many concerto repertoire staples, including Brahms, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Mendelssohn. The elderly Kreisler said Morini performed his pieces better than he ever had and Heifetz apparently turned to Morini for coaching on his staccato-playing! (6076)
