Walter Levin

• abstract: Walter Levin (1924–) is the founder, first violinist, and guiding spirit of the LaSalle String Quartet (active 1947–1987), which was famous for its championing of contemporary composers, for its recordings of the Second Viennese School (Schönberg, Berg, and Webern), as well as for its intellectually penetrating interpretations of the classical and romantic quartet repertory, in particular the late quartets of Beethoven. Levin is also an important pedagogue, having taught many of the world’s leading string quartets, among them the Alban Berg Quartet and the Arditti Quartet; other prominent students include the conductor James Levine, the violinist Christian Tetzlaff, and the pianist Stefan Litwin.
