MARTIN MARSICK - VIOLINIST |
|
The legendary Belgian violin virtuoso writes a letter to the powerful concert manager Arthur Dandelot regarding his string quartet. Marsick was one of the great touring violinists at the end of the 19th Century. He taught many important violinists, a few: Carl Flesch, Jacques Thibaud and Georges Enescu. His string quartet which bore his name comprised himself, Guillaume Rémy (Richard Loys played 2nd violin later), Louis Van Waefelghen and cello duties were split between André Hekking and Jules Delsart. Dear Monsieur Dandelot, First, my New Year wishes for you and your dear ones. I have quite a need for some programs for our third concert and for you to send people who still appreciate string quartets. Let us hope that the weather will be better than for the second performance; I know that deprived us of 150 people, but, all things considered the artistic success was enormous. I received letters from the Provinces, saying that we would be a great success without quartet and that I should undertake a big tour. All this is possible for the next season as long as Hekking doesn’t lose courage. Very cordially yours, P. M. Marsick 3 January, 1910, 34 rue de lille |
