SARASATE Y NAVASCUES, PABLO See also:

MARTIN MELITON DE (1844-1908) , See also:Spanish violinist, was See also:born at See also:Pamplona on the loth of See also:March 1844. From his See also:early years he displayed his aptitude for the See also:violin, and at the See also:age of 12 he began to study under See also:Alard at the See also:Paris See also:Conservatoire. His first public See also:appearance as a See also:concert violinist was in 186o. He played in See also:London in 1861, and in the course of his career he visited all parts of See also:Europe and also both See also:North and See also:South See also:America. His See also:artistic pre-See also:eminence was due principally to the purity of his See also:tone, which was See also:free from any tendency towards sentimentality and rhapsodic mannerism, and to the astonishing facility of See also:execution which made him in the best sense of the word a virtuoso. Al-though in the See also:Beethoven and Mendelssohn concertos, and in See also:modern See also:French and Belgian See also:works, his playing was unrivalled, his qualities were most clearly revealed in the solos which he himself composed, which were " the spirit of Spanish See also:dance translated into terms of the violin virtuoso." Sarasate died at See also:Biarritz on the loth of See also:September 1908.
