เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง

Leopold Auer was born in Veszprem, Hungary, in 1845, the son of a housepainter, and became the most charismatic and successful violin teacher of the first half of the twentieth century. He was not only a dynamic force in the teaching studio but made his mark as a concertmaster, conductor, editor, soloist, chamber music performer, and ‘court musician’ in serving three czars: Alexander II, Alexander III, and Nicholas II. He died while on vacation near Dresden in 1930. His fame and his mystique as a teacher have never been equaled or diminished.
