Wieniavski Daniel Melsa was born in Warsaw and at the age of three showed an aptitude for the violin. After the revolution of 1905, during which his father and sister were killed, his mother took him to Berlin where he studied under Carl Flesch. He made his debut with great success at the Beethoven Saal and then went to Paris and played the Brahms Concerto under Nikisch. During the season 1913-14 Melsa gave six recitals in London and at the end of the last war he returned to tour most of the important musical centres in Britain. After touring America and the East he settled in England permanently.
