Johanna Martzy was a Hungarian violinist born on October 26, 1924.  She is remembered for her short career. Martzy began studying violin at age six. Soon afterwards she started lessons with Jeno Hubay at the Liszt Academy in Budapest and continued with him until 1937.  By age 13 she was already touring Hungary and Romania.  She did comparatively little recording: Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Brahms, Dvorak, Bartok, and Stravinsky, mostly for the Britsh Columbia Label, today very sought-after and collectable LPs, on the other side, though many tapes of radio broadcasts still exist.  Martzy mostly played a Carlo Bergonzi, 1733, violin though she also owned the Strad, Huberman, 1733 and a Peter Guarnerius the Carl Flesch’s old violin.  She died in Switzerland, her death virtually unnoticed, on August 13, 1979, at age 54.


She made her debut at the age of 13 and won a prize at the Geneva International Music Competition in 1947. Died of cancer in Glarus, Switzerland, on August 13, 1979, at the age of 54. A cult violinist whose recordings are few and far between, it was unfortunate that events passed unnoticed after her untimely death. Nor did her career predict her posthumous idolization.

Johanna Martzy was a Hungarian violinist. She was born in Timișoara, Romania in 1924 and debuted at 13. She toured in the 1940s and 1950s. After that decade her renown in North America, at least, declined and her death from cancer, in Glarus in 1979, was not well noted. She won 1st prize at the Geneva competition in 1947. Among her chamber music recordings, those of Schubert have been thought particularly special.

Martzy settled in Switzerland and first performed in England in 1953. Her initial appearances in the United States occurred in 1957. with the Cincinnati Symphony, Denver Symphony and New York Philharmonic orchestras. A second tour of the U.S. took place during the 1958/59 concert season, ahead of her South African tour. She again visited the U.S. in 1960, but thereafter, in the words of the Bach Cantata Website, she became an "unobtrusive visitor to North America," with few additional commercial recordings to her name. She had meanwhile married her Swiss patron, the publisher, amateur violinist and violin collector, Daniel Tschudi (her second marriage, the first having been dissolved) and had a daughter. It’s possible that marriage to Daniel Tschudi removed some of the financial imperative associated with a hectic professional career, while family life no doubt took some measure of toll on her public performing and recording schedule.

Johanna Martzy died of cancer on August 13, 1979, in Switzerland. She was just 54 years old and had been in the public eye among the front rank of violinists for all too brief a period. As a mark of how far she had drifted out of the spotlight in the United States, her death is said to have gone largely unnoticed.
