More than a cen­tury after his pub­lic debut, the name Jascha Heifetz con­tin­ues to evoke awe and excite­ment among fel­low musi­cians. In a per­form­ing career that spanned 65 years, he estab­lished an unpar­al­leled stan­dard of vio­lin play­ing to which vio­lin­ists around the world still aspire. The day after the 19-year-old Heifetz’s Lon­don debut, George Bernard Shaw wrote him a now leg­endary let­ter. “If you pro­voke a jeal­ous God by play­ing with such super­hu­man per­fec­tion,” Shaw warned, “you will die young. I earnestly advise you to play some­thing badly every night before going to bed, instead of say­ing your prayers. No mor­tal should pre­sume to play so faultlessly.” Heifetz is widely con­sid­ered to be one of the most pro­foundly influ­en­tial per­form­ing artists of all time. Born in Vil­nius, Lithua­nia — then occu­pied by Rus­sia — on Feb­ru­ary 2, 1901, he became a U.S. cit­i­zen in 1925. Fiercely patri­otic to his adopted coun­try, he gave hun­dreds of con­certs for Allied ser­vice men and women dur­ing World War II, includ­ing tours of Cen­tral and South Amer­ica, North Africa, Italy, France, and Ger­many, often play­ing from the back of a flatbed truck in dan­ger­ous conditions. In 1928, he pub­lished the first of dozens of acclaimed vio­lin tran­scrip­tions. Many, includ­ing his arrange­ments of selec­tions from Gershwin’s “Porgy and Bess,” are now part of the stan­dard reper­toire. Using the pseu­do­nym Jim Hoyl, he even wrote a pop song that became a hit in 1946. In his later years, Heifetz became a ded­i­cated teacher and a cham­pion of causes he believed in. He led efforts to estab­lish “911” as an emer­gency phone num­ber, and cru­saded for clean air. He and his stu­dents at the Uni­ver­sity of South­ern Cal­i­for­nia protested smog by wear­ing gas masks, and in 1967 he con­verted his Renault pas­sen­ger car into an elec­tric vehicle. As a result of his vast recorded legacy, Heifetz’s vio­lin play­ing is no less influ­en­tial today than it was in his life­time. To legions of vio­lin­ists he remains, quite sim­ply, “The King.” Heifetz, Jascha (Iossif Robertovich), great Russian-born American violinist; b. Vilnius, Feb. 2, 1899; d. Los Angeles, Dec. 10, 1987. His father, Ruben Heifetz, an able musician, taught him the rudiments of violin playing at a very early age; he then studied with Ilya Malkin at the Vilnius Music School, and played in public before he was 5 years old; at the age of 6, he played Mendelssohn's Concerto in Kovno. In 1910 he was taken by his father to St. Petersburg, and entered the Conservatory there in the class of Nalbandian; after a few months, he was accepted as a pupil by Leopold Auer. He gave his first public concert in St. Petersburg on April 30, 1911. The following year, with a letter of recommendation from Auer, he went to Berlin; his first concert there (May 24, 1912), in the large hall of the Hochschule für Musik, attracted great attention: Artur Nikisch engaged him to play the Tchaikovsky Concerto with the Berlin Philharmonic (Oct. 28, 1912), but his appearance proved uneventful. He then decided to continue his studies with Auer in St. Petersburg and in Germany. While visiting Auer in Norway in 1916, he played in a joint concert with Toscha Seidel before the king and queen of Norway. After the Russian Revolution of 1917, he went to America, by way of Siberia and the Orient. His debut at Carnegie Hall in N.Y. (Oct. 27, 1917) won for him the highest expression of enthusiasm from the public and in the press. Mischa Elman, the prime violinist of an older generation, attended the concert in the company of the pianist Leopold Godowsky. When Elman complained that it was too hot in the hall, Godowsky retorted, "Not for pianists." Veritable triumphs followed during Heifetz's tour of the U.S., and soon his fame spread all over the world. He made his first London appearance on May 5, 1920; toured Australia (1921), the Orient (1923), Palestine (1926), and South America. He revisited Russia in 1934, and was welcomed enthusiastically. He became a naturalized American citizen in 1925, and made his home in Beverly Hills, Calif. Heifetz made regular tours throughout the world, appearing not only with the foremost orchestras but as a recitalist. As a chamber music artist, he played in trios with Rubinstein and Feuermann, and later with Pennario and Piatigorsky. He taught classes of exceptionally talented pupils at the University of Southern Calif. in Los Angeles (1962-72). In 1974 he made his last public appearance and thereby brought to a close one of the most extraordinary violin careers in history. The Olympian quality of Heifetz's playing was unique in luminous transparency of texture, tonal perfection, and formal equilibrium of phrasing; he never allowed his artistic temperament to superimpose extraneous elements on the music; this inspired tranquillity led some critics to characterize his interpretations as impersonal and detached. Heifetz made numerous arrangements for violin of works by Bach, Vivaldi, and contemporary composers; his most famous transcription is "Hora Staccato" by Grigoraş Dinicu, made into a virtuoso piece by adroit ornamentation and rhythmic elaboration. In his desire to promote modern music, he commissioned a number of composers (Walton, Gruenberg, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and others) to write violin concertos for him and performed several of them.
