Recorded Personalities In Caricature (21)
WHO IS HE?-He was born in West Hartlepool in 1876 and is the finest player of the-viola in England, and has inspired many of our modern ¢émposers. He began by being a pianist (asa boy of six, in velvet and lace collar). Wanting to play in. string quartets with fellow pupils at the Royal Academy of Music, he couldn’t find a viola-playing partner. He decided to take up the instrument himself, and three weeks later when the quartet played to the Principal, Sir Alexander Mackenzie, the latter forecast a good future for the young viola player. This has . proved a true prophecy.
