3JOACHIM, JOSEPH, Hungarian violinist, composer and teacher, b. near Pressburg, June 28, 1831. Studied under Szeraczinski and with Bohm at the Vienna Conservatory, making his debut in 1844 in Maurer's Quadruple Concerto for four violins with Bazzini, Ernst and David. He also appeared with the Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra making that city his home until 1849, under the influence of Schumann, Mendelssohn and David who undoubtedly aided in molding his artistic career. For a time he was concertmaster at Weimar under Liszt, and later was appointed head of the Berlin Hochschule, becoming the life and soul of that institution to such a degree that Berlin became the Mecca of all violinists, after the death of David in Leipzig (1873). The quartet which he founded with De Ahna, Wirth and Hausman was without question the greatest chamber music organization the world has ever seen, due to the fidelity with which it performed the works of the great classic composers, and Joachim's solo playing was characterized by breadth and dignity, especially in his performance of the classic violin masterpieces. His quartet appeared frequently in London and on the continent with great success. Joachim's compositions comprise three violin concertos (including the "Hungarian Concerto") and a number of smaller pieces as well as three cadenzas to the Beethoven Concerto. D. Berlin, Aug. 15, 1907.
