Jascha Heifetz (1901-1987)

Russian American violinist Jascha Heifetz is considered the greatest violinist of all time. He was born in Vilnius, Lithuania (then part of Russia). He gave his first public concert at the age of five and gave his first concerts outside of Russia in 1912. He became an American citizen in 1925.

Heifetz made many world tours and received high acclaim for his technique and for the lyrical quality of his tone. He also made numerous recordings, both as a soloist and in ensemble works, which won three Grammy Awards (1961, 1962, 1964). In 1989 Heifetz was given a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award for his accomplishments.

This practice or silent violin was used by Jascha Heifetz to practice finger movement for many years. It was given (and signed by him) to a dear friend who, in turn gave it to me nearly 20 years ago. All questions answered via email. Contact information at the bottom of this page.
