Pablo de Sarasate
Pablo de Sarasate (full name: Martín Melitón Pablo de Sarasate y Navascués ; born March 10, 1844 in Pamplona , † September 20, 1908 in Biarritz ) was a Spanish violinist and composer .
Life
Sarasate began his violin studies at the age of five under his father, an artillery bandmaster. He was later taught by local teachers. He gave his first concert in La Coruña when he was eight years old .
Having achieved considerable success at this early age, he was supported by the wealthy writer and Countess Juana de Vega. This put his parents in a position to enable him to study under Manuel Rodriguez Saez in Madrid . Not long after his arrival in Madrid, the young violinist became a successful artist at the court of Queen Isabella II of Spain.
At the decision of his mother, he studied at the age of twelve under Jean-Delphin Alard at the Paris Conservatory .
Sarasate was famous as a soloist on tour and as a virtuoso for most of his life . Numerous works were composed for him, such as the Introduction et Rondo capriccioso (1863) by Camille Saint-Saëns and the Symphonie espagnole (played 1875) by Édouard Lalo . Sarasate's best-known compositions include the Aires gitanos ( Gypsies , 1878), in the third movement of which he borrowed music from Elemér Szentirmay , Zapateado and the Fantasy on Carmen by Bizet .
