Violinist & Pedagogue Joseph Joachim Died in 1907

The Hungarian violinist is remembered as one of the most significant violinists of the 19th century

 

Born in 1831, Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim is widely regarded as one of the most significant violinists of the 19th century.

Hungarian violinist Joseph Joachim began his violin studies in Budapest, first appearing in concert with his teacher Stanisław Serwaczyński at age 7. In 1844, he traveled to London and was sponsored by Felix Mendelssohn.

In Berlin, Joachim's performance career transformed the aesthetics and interpretation of German music.

He was also a composer of virtuoso pieces, violin concertos, orchestral overtures, and chamber music works, all of which were between 1847 and 1864. His compositions were influenced by Brahms and Schumann.

Joachim was the dedicatee of the Bruch, Brahms, Schumann, and Dvorak Violin Concertos – and is credited with the revival in popularity of Bach's Solo Violin Sonatas and Partitas and Beethoven's Violin Concerto.

In 1868, he became director of the Hochschule für Ausübende Tonkunst (Berlin), where he gained a reputation as a fine pedagogue, attracting pupils from all of Europe. His noted students included Leopold Auer, Willy Burmester, Willy Hess, Bronisław Huberman, Franz von Vecsey, and Jenő Hubay.
