Gabriele Wietrowetz

Gabriele Wietrowetz (or Wietrowitz; 13 January 1866 – 6 April 1937) was an Austrian concert violinist and academic.

In the 1870s the family moved to Graz in Styria, where she was taught by Anton Geyer and Ferdinand Caspar at the Schule des Steiermärkischen Musikvereins (School of the Styrian Music Association).

[1][2] She obtained a scholarship from the state of Styria, and from 1882 to 1885 she studied at the Akademische Hochschule für Musik in Berlin with Joseph Joachim and Emanuel Wirth.

[1][2] Her London debut was in August 1892 at the Crystal Palace; a reviewer in The Athenaeum wrote: "An extremely favourable impression was made.... United to a fine broad tone and almost faultless technique, Fräulein Wietrowetz possesses a remarkably bright vivacious style...." She remained in England for several months, appearing with the pianist Fanny Davies and giving other concerts.

[1] From 1901 to 1912 Wietrowetz had a teaching post at the Hochschule für Musik in Berlin; during this time she gave concerts only during vacation periods.
