Louis Persinger (1887-1966) was an American violinist, pianist, conductor and teacher. He is especially remembered as a teacher of Yehudi Menuhin and Ruggiero Ricci.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears with Ricci in Sarasate’s Danzas Españolas.

Persinger’s role here belongs to the violin-piano tradition, where accompaniment and partnership demand the same stylistic command as solo playing.

His page is justified by musical standing and pedagogical importance. Persinger brings a teacher’s precision and a violinist’s ear to the Ricci shelf.
