Early life

edit

Dincin was from Brooklyn, the daughter of Herman Dincin and Lena Tietze Dincin.[1] Her father was a physician.[2] She studied violin as a child at the New York College of Music,[3] and later with Leopold Auer, Otakar Ševčik, and Ysaÿe.[4]

Career

edit

Dincin made her concert debut in Paris in 1923,[4] and performed in Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Belgium and England in the 1920s.[2] She taught violin at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels, and in private lessons for Queen Elisabeth of Belgium.[5] She cared for her husband in his last years at their home in Brussels, and after his death promoted his work, while performing and teaching in the United States.[6][7][8] She played his Guarneri violin in at least one concert, in New York in 1932;[9] the same violin was played by Isaac Stern from 1965 to 1998.[10][11]

Personal life

edit

Dincin married her widowed Belgian violin teacher, Ysaÿe, in 1927.[2][12] Her husband was in ill health for much of their marriage,[13] and died in 1931.[14] She died in 1967, aged 65 years. The Juilliard School's Lila Acheson Wallace Library holds a collection of Dincin's papers, including unpublished compositions and arrangements by her husband.[15][16]
