Arthur Grumiaux

Arthur Grumiaux (March 21, 1921–October 16, 1986) was a Belgian violinist who was also proficient in piano.

Solo career

After the war, he quickly developed an international reputation travelling United States, United Kingdom, throughout Europe and Asia. He signed up with the Phillips label, and made various recordings including Beethoven Sonatas with Clara Haskil, who was a piano partner for much of Grumiaux's career as a soloist. Her death through a fall in a train station left a great void for him, both personally and professionally.
