レオポルト・アウアー
In 1880 he married Anna Lvovna Skadovskaya in Sebastopol. On 4 December 1881 Brodsky premiered Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto in D major in Vienna, under the baton of Richter. Brodsky was the dedicatee of the concerto, after Tchaikovsky decided to withdraw the dedication from Leopold Auer, offended that the latter would not to play it unless the composer made certain changes incorporating his unsolicited suggestions. Brodsky had also premiered Tchaikovsky's "Sérénade mélancolique" in Moscow in 1876. It, too, had been initially dedicated to Leopold Auer, and it, too, had had its dedication withdrawn by the composer (although not reassigned to Brodsky in this case). This was not because of any criticism Auer had made of the "Sérénade mélancolique", but was part of Tchaikovsky's reaction to Auer's issues with the Violin Concerto.
