Henri Marteau

Marteau's debut was made when he was 10 at a concert given by the Vienna Philharmonic Society conducted by Hans Richter.

A year later Charles Gounod selected him to play the obbligato of Vision de Jeanne d'Arc, composed for the Joan of Arc Centenary Celebration at Reims, where he also performed, before an audience of 2500 people, his teacher Léonard's Violin Concerto No.

On 13 April 1894, he, pianist Ami Lauchame, a violist named Koert, and a cellist named Hegner were reported to have given their second invitation chamber music concert in New York, performing works of Camille Saint-Saëns and Gabriel Fauré; a third concert was scheduled for the following week.

[2] By 1906, Marteau was leading a string quartet that broke up in a dispute over a work by Max Reger.

[3] In Berlin, he formed another string quartet with his student Licco Amar as second violinist[4] and Hugo Becker as cellist; later, Becker's student George Georgescu would take over the cello position.
