Rose and Ottilie Sutro

They studied in Berlin at the Royal Hochschule für Musik under Karl Heinrich Barth,[9] and made their debut in London in July 1894.

[13] For Duo-Art, they recorded the "Entrée de fête" from Charles Gounod's Suite concertante[14] and Dvořák's Slavonic Dance No.

Without Bruch's permission, however, they rewrote the work themselves to suit their pianistic abilities, altered the orchestration, copyrighted their version and deposited it with the Library of Congress in 1916.

[17] In 1917 they played a further revised version of the work, with the number of movements reduced from four to three, with the New York Philharmonic under Josef Stránský.

[2][11] He and Martin Berkofsky then reconstructed Bruch's original version, and they recorded it for the first time in November 1973, with the London Symphony Orchestra under Antal Doráti.

[2] Rose and Ottilie Sutro were also heavily involved in the fate of the manuscript of Bruch's best-known work, his Violin Concerto No.

Bruch had sold the score to the publisher August Cranz outright for a small lump sum (250 Talers[19]) - but he kept a copy of his own.

At the end of World War I, he was destitute, having been unable to enforce the payment of royalties for his other works due to chaotic worldwide economic conditions.

In 1949, they sold the autograph to Mary Flagler Cary, whose collection, including the Bruch concerto, now resides at the Morgan Library & Museum in New York City.
