Thread: Violinist quiz II

OK, first quiz ended. I propose another one for your pastime

1) Czech old virtuoso violinist very few remembers now. He made some weird arrangements and phantasies. One of them on Strauss' waltzes from Der Rosenkavalier
2) Who made the very first recordings of Paganini's caprices (with piano)
3) Third place on a very famous violin contest. He form a string quartet during
the 50s and 60s., all 4 players using rare valuable instruments.
4) Spanish violinist famous in the 30s and 40s. He left some short pieces. Manuel must
know his surname.
5) Who made the very first recording on Bach's 2 violins concerto? (with a string quartet)

4. Joan Manen? I'm not even sure if he was spanish. I have the idea that he wrote a Spanish Concerto, or similar. But we also know Lalo composed a Spanish Symphony, and Collet a Concierto Flamenco (Perhaps they didn't really know they were french themselves).

No mai dier. I've de Concierto Flamenco (a real caca) and Joan Manen spanish
concerto (Beautiful obra), and of cors Lalo's Sinfonía Española (creo que 6 o 7
versions).But no, I don't min Manen.I've give iu a clú,when I said that you shuld
know his apellido,because his first naim..
What's your opinion about the curious lenguage I use?.Is it amuzing or only ridiculous?

Iy seems there's need a little help:
1) He left some very fine recordings.One is a great version of Dvorak's v.c.
2) He is known (more or less) by his artistic name.
3) He was a scott but of polish family, and had a polish surname
4) He was also Manuel
5) Two old violinists, one very famous, the other very long lived.

1) Frantisek Drdla?

I come from undiscreet attacks to von for text messaging us... I should not collude with your new writting style.

recorded his own version of Zigeunerweissen, on double strings on the middle
slow part. Sounds great.
