History

Jelly d’ArĂĄnyi (born May 30, 1895, Budapest, Hungary—died March 30, 1966, Florence, Italy) was a violinist known for her performances of contemporary music. BĂ©la BartĂłk’s two sonatas for violin and piano were written for her; Maurice Ravel’s Tzigane for Violin and Orchestra and Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Violin Concerto were dedicated to her.

The grandniece of the celebrated violinist Joseph Joachim, she made her debut in Vienna in 1909. She settled in London in 1913. Her playing was considered fiery and temperamental, and she was esteemed as a performer of Romantic music. Arányi frequently gave joint recitals with pianist Dame Myra Hess. She was also known for performances, with her sister Adila Fachiri (1888–1962), of Bach’s double concertos.
