  • The Family of Leopold Auer in Reminiscences and Letters
    The Family of Leopold Auer in Memories and Letters by Marina Akimova I In 2018 it will be 150 years since Leopold Auer began his teaching career at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Since his death his name has become synonymous with that of an incomparable pedagogue of violin in the same way as Paganini’s name has become identical to that of a supreme violinist. By now no one knows for certain how exactly he taught his students. Sometimes he is described as merely an adroit manager who helped to organise the concert life of the already accomplished musicians. This opinion can be contradicted by the words of Heifetz who worshipped Auer all his life: “Professor Auer was an extraordinary and incomparable teacher. I do not think that there has ever been anyone to touch him in the whole world. Ask me not how he taught. I know not how to tell you about it because he taught every student entirely differently. Perhaps it was because of this supremely individual approach that he was such a marvellous teacher. For me even half an hour with Auer was sufficient to provide me with emotional and intellectual stimulus. He was possessed of a first class brain, superb sense of humour, marvellous nervous system, and tremendous magnetism. As you see everything in him was superlative.” Of late, interest in Auer and his teaching seems to be everywhere. One can come across his name in the most unusual places, for instance on an internet site or in a new book by Dina Rubin, a contemporary writer in the Russian language.
