New Leafs from an Old Branch

Other than Josef Hassid who died in his twenties, Emmanuel Feuermann, Josef Wolfsthal, Ginette Neveu and Julian Sitkovesky, or even Alexei Sultanov (pianist ) also died prematurely all in their thirties...

 

Of Sitkovesky, David Oistrakh was recorded to have remarked " had he lived, Sitkovetsky would have eclipsed him and Kogan…. He had a broad, firm, focused tone in all registers; flawless intonation; a rapid, even trill; a swift, perfectly controlled staccato; strong, immaculate harmonics; an even, clear sautillé..." Doesn't sound like Oistrakh said so out of courtesy. And it dawned on me recently that Sitkovetsky married Bella Davidovich, the Chopin winner, with whom they have a violinist/conductor son.
