concertmaster

My first teacher was my father, a good violinist and concertmaster of the Vilna Symphony Orchestra.

Symphonic music—in as much as the concertmaster is concerned, is usually not idiomatic violin music.

The concertmaster has to develop his own interpretations, subject, of course, to the conductor's ideas.

He had the post of concertmaster, it is true, but the salary was but a trifle and he was often pressed for money.

Like his brother he was also distinguished by the title of Chamber Virtuoso and Concertmaster.
