FRANZ VON VECSEY - VIOLINIST

Autographed postcard photograph of the great violinist, 1929.  He has signed “Franky Vecsey”.  A pupil of both Hubey and Joachim, von Vecsey was considered to be the finest of the violin prodigies right after the turn of the Century and  was one of the fiddlers who ruled the concert stages right up through the First World War and into the 1920’s.  He became tired of the life of a traveling virtuoso and settled in Rome where he passed away unexpectedly at the age of 42.  Jean Sibelius dedicated his violin concerto to him.
