May Fellows, Vienna, 1892
Item 11948 info
Skowhegan History House
From about age 12 until 17, May Fellows lived mostly away from her parents, studying violin with Timothee Adamowski, Franz Kneisel, and Eugen Grünberg.
In 1892, the Sargents and Kneisel arranged for her to go abroad to study with Kneisel's teacher, Jacob Grün in Vienna.
Her mother accompanied her and, once again, the two were charmed by elite society and the musical celebrities they encountered -- including Brahms.
