Morini, Erica. (1904-1995) [Gingold, Joseph. (1909-1995)]. Typed Letter Signed to Josef Gingold.
A student of Ottokar Sevcik, Morini 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!
Charming typed letter signed from the important Austrian violinist who made her later career in the United States, to violinist Josef Gingold, thanking him for the party after a concert in Detroit and asking him to look for a lost shawl. March 23, 1936. "I want to tell you once again how much I enjoyed being with you, and what a grand time I had at the party you gave for me after the concert in Detroit." She signs, "your pal, Erica." Morini had appeared as a soloist with the Detroit Symphony in final concert of their 1946 season, playing Bruch's violin concerto in G minor; Gingold was the concertmaster of the orchestra. 1 p. 7.25 x 10.5 inches (18.4 x 26.6 cm).
A student of Ysaye, Joseph Gingold was the first to perform Ysaye's 3rd Sonata for Solo Violin. Later, he lead the Cleveland Orchestra under George Szell and taught at the Indiana School of Music, where his pupils included - among many others - Joshua Bell, Miriam Fried, Leonidas Kavakos, Jaime Laredo and Joseph Silverstein.
