Hungarian virtuoso violinist Joseph Szigeti (1892-1973) debuted as a
child prodigy, touring and recording until his retirement in 1960. Known as
"the scholarly violinist," he championed works by contemporary composers,
including his lifelong friend Bela Bartok. Szigeti and his wife Wanda
(Ostrowska) Szigeti lived mostly in the US from 1939 to 1960, returning
thereafter to Switzerland. Szigeti's memoirs, With Strings
Attached, obviously a work in
progress when he wrote this letter, were published in 1947. Szigeti on
the Violin appeared in 1969. Corners lightly worn. Fine
condition.
