Zimbalist, Efrem

Born Apr. 9, 1889, in Rostov-on-Don. American violinist.

Zimbalist initially studied with his father, an orchestral conductor; from 1901 to 1907 he studied with L. Auer at the St. Petersburg Conservatory. He made his debut in Berlin in 1907 and subsequently gave concerts in other German cities and in London. In 1911, Zimbalist took up residence in the USA.

Zimbalist combined an academic style of playing with a high degree of artistry, verve, and an originality of interpretation. He performed a series of concerts tracing the history of the violin from early music to the works of modern composers. His compositions include the opera Landara (1956, Philadelphia), the light opera Honeydew (1920, New Haven), and the orchestral work American Rhapsody (1936; revised version 1943). Other compositions of note are a concerto (1947); Slavic Dances (1911), comprising three dances for violin and orchestra; sonatas, suites, and other pieces for violin and piano; and songs. Zimbalist wrote a course of study for the violin entitled One Hour’s Daily Exercises.
