Wilma Neruda, Lady Hallé, originally ''Wilhelmine Maria Franziska Neruda'' (21 March 1838 – 15 April 1911) was a Moravian violinist.〔(Neruda, Vilhelmina (Wilma) Marie Františka (Nee -Norman-Hallé) ) ''Nordisk familjebok'' (1913) / Uggleupplagan. 19. Mykenai - Norrpada (in Swedish)〕〔(Neruda, Vilhelmina ) ''Salmonsens konversationsleksikon'' (1915-1930) / Anden Udgave / Bind XVII, : Mielck—Nordland, p821 (in Danish)〕 ==Biography== She was born in Brno, Moravia, then part of the Austrian Empire, and came from a family long famous for musical talent. At those times, the violin was not considered a proper instrument for a woman. Her father, Josef Neruda (1807–1875) the organist of the cathedral of Brno, introduced her to the piano but Wilhelmine was caught secretly playing her brother's violin, which she preferred, and finally allowed to play it. The family moved to Vienna, where she studied with Professor Leopold Jansa (1795–1875). She made her first public appearance as a violinist in Vienna at the age of seven, playing one of Bach's violin sonatas. She married the Swedish musician Ludvig Norman (1831–1885) in Stockholm in 1864 and had a son, Ludwig Norman Neruda, who became a famous alpinist. Four years later, she moved to London with her son. After Norman died in 1885, she married the German-English musician Charles Hallé in 1888. When he was knighted later the same year, she became Lady Hallé. Given a Palazzo in Asolo, Italy, after her husband's death, she moved there to live with her son Ludwig. He died in 1898 climbing in the Dolomites. After her son's death, she moved to Berlin. Lady Hallé continued to stay parts of the year in London, however, and Queen Alexandra appointed her ''Violinist to the Queen'' in late 1901. She died in 1911 in Berlin, Germany, aged 73. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilma Neruda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
