Pablo Martín Melitón de Sarasate y Navascués (ˈpaβlo saɾaˈsate; 10 March 1844 – 20 September 1908) was a Navarre
se Spanish
violin
ist and composer
of the Romantic
period.
, Navarre, the son of an artillery bandmaster. He began studying the violin with his father at the age of five and later took lessons from a local teacher but his musical talent became evident early on and he appeared in his first public concert in La Coruña at the age of eight. His performance was well-received, and caught the attention of a wealthy patron who provided the funding for Sarasate to study under Manuel Rodríguez Saez in Madrid
where he gained the favor of Queen Isabel II. Later, as his abilities developed, he was sent to study under Jean-Delphin Alard at the Paris Conservatoire
at the age of twelve. There, at seventeen, Sarasate entered a competition for the Premier Prix and won his first prize, the Conservatoire's highest honour.
Sarasate, who had been playing in public since childhood, made his Paris debut as a concert violinist in 1860, and played in London
the following year. Over the course of his career, he toured many parts of the world, performing in Europe
, North America
, and South America
. His artistic pre-eminence was due principally to the purity of his tone, which was free from any tendency towards the sentimental or rhapsodic, and to that impressive facility of execution that made him a virtuoso. In his early career, Sarasate performed mainly opera
fantasies, most notably the Carmen Fantasy, and various other pieces that he had composed. The popularity of Sarasate's Spanish flavor in his compositions is reflected in the work of his contemporaries. For example, the influences of Spanish music can be heard in such notable works as Édouard Lalo
's Symphonie Espagnole
which was dedicated to Sarasate, Georges Bizet
's Carmen
, and Camille Saint-Saëns
' Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso
, written expressly for Sarasate and dedicated to him.
Of Sarasate's idiomatic writing for his instrument, the playwright and music critic George Bernard Shaw
once declared that though there were many composers of music for the violin, there were but few composers of violin music. Of Sarasate's talents as performer and composer, Shaw said that he "left criticism gasping miles behind him." Sarasate's own compositions are mainly show-pieces designed to demonstrate his exemplary technique (bias shown, needs reference). Perhaps the best known of his works is Zigeunerweisen
(1878), a work for violin and orchestra. Another piece, the Carmen Fantasy (1883), also for violin and orchestra, makes use of themes from Georges Bizet's opera Carmen. Probably his most performed encores are his two books of Spanish dances, brief pieces designed to please the listener's ear and show off the performer's talent. He also made arrangements of a number of other composers' work for violin, and composed sets of variations on "potpourris" drawn from operas familiar to his audiences, such as his Fantasia on La forza del destino
(his Opus 1), his "Souvenirs of Faust
", or his variations on themes from Die Zauberflöte
. In 1904 he made a small number of recordings. In all his travels Sarasate returned to Pamplona each year for the San Fermín
festival.
Sarasate died in Biarritz
, France
on September 20, 1908 from chronic bronchitis. He bequeathed his violin, made by Antonio Stradivari
in 1724, to the Musée de la Musique
. The violin now bears his name as the Sarasate Stradivarius
in his memory. His second Stradivari violin, the Boissier of 1713, is now owned by Real Conservatorio Superior de Música, Madrid
. Among his violin pupils was Alfred De Sève
. The Pablo Sarasate International Violin Competition is held in Pamplona.
A number of works for violin were dedicated to Sarasate, including Henryk Wieniawski
's Violin Concerto No. 2
, Édouard Lalo
's Symphonie Espagnole
, Camille Saint-Saëns
' Violin Concerto No. 3
and his Introduction and Rondo capriccioso
