Milstein (Nathan, 1903-1992). Russian-American violinist. A rare and important Autograph Music Manuscript (unsigned), written in pen and pencil, being a working copy of Milstein's cadenza for the 3rd movement of Beethoven's Violin Concerto with upwards of 55 bars, headed in Milstein's hand 'Cadenza to the 3rd Movement of Beethoven's, St Louis, Jan[uary] 15 1961', some marks and creases to upper outer corners, 2 pages (opening out to form a large double sheet), 310 x 480 mm Included with this item is a photocopy of the programme for when Milstein played Beethoven's Violin Concerto with the St Louis Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Edouard Van Remoortel, on 14-15 January 1961. A transcriber and composer, Milstein arranged many works for violin and wrote his own cadenzas for concertos, including Beethoven’s only work in that genre. Milstein was renowned for his fastidious approach to violin playing; he was apparently obsessed with articulating each note perfectly and would often spend long periods of time working out fingerings which would make passages sound more articulated.
