Ysaye
Eugène Ysaÿe (1858–1931) was a Belgian violinist, composer, and conductor who studied under both Vieuxtemps and Wieniawski, making him the direct heir to the greatest Belgian and Polish violin traditions of the nineteenth century. César Franck presented his Violin Sonata to Ysaÿe as a wedding gift in 1886; the premiere Ysaÿe gave that same afternoon, reading from the manuscript in failing light before continuing from memory, is one of the celebrated performances of the age. His six Sonatas for solo violin Op. 27, each dedicated to a leading violinist of the time, are considered the most significant works for solo violin since Bach.
