Pablo Sarasate

Under Construction



Pablo Sarasate:

:Pablo Martin Meliton De Sarasate Y Navascues was born at Pampeluna March 10, 1844. Entered the Paris Conservatoire, Jan. 1, 1856. The following year he became the favourite pupil of Alard, and gained the first prizes for solfège (a musical methode to teach pitch and sight singing, link coming soon!) and violin.

Sarasate's distinguishing characteristics are not so much fire, force, and passion, though of these he has an ample astore, as purity of style, charm, brightness of tone, flexibility, and extra-ordinary facility. He sings on the instrument with taste and expression, and without that exaggeration or affectation of sentiment which disfigures the playing of many violinists.
