Stefi Geyer (born June 28, 1888 in Budapest, † December 11, 1956 in Zurich) was a Hungarian violinist and taught at the Zurich Conservatory from 1934 to 1953.
Stefi Geyer received violin lessons from her father Josef Geyer, a police doctor, at the age of three. She was later taught by Jen? Hubays, teacher of József Szigetis, at the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest and appeared in public for the first time as a nine-year-old child prodigy.  As a child prodigy, Stefi Geyer went on concert tours in Europe and America, but she also had success as a “mature artist” and made her debut at the beginning of the 20th century a. a. in the Leipzig Gewandhaus or with the Berlin Philharmonic. She impressed not only with her musicality and technical ability, but also with her personality and appearance. Béla Bartók and Othmar Schoeck (who both fell in love with Stefi) wrote violin concertos for her. Willy Burkhard also dedicated his violin concerto, completed in 1943, to Stefi Geyer and Paul Sacher. In 1911 Stefi Geyer moved to Vienna and married the lawyer Edwin Jung, who died of the Spanish flu at the end of the First World War. In 1920 she married the Swiss composer and pianist Walter Schulthess and moved to Zurich, from where she continued her concert activities. Her husband composed violin works for her, which enjoyed great popularity. From 1934 to 1953 she taught at the Zurich Conservatory. In 1941 she was a founding member of the Collegium Musicum Zurich, of which she became concertmaster. In 1941 she founded the Stefi Geyer Quartet together with Rudolf Baumgartner, Ottavio Corti and Eric Guignard. (wiki) Stefi Geyer trained numerous musicians, including the Swiss composer Klaus Huber (* 1924). She also stood up for Maria Stader when she was still in training. One of her students was Aida Stucki, with whom Anne Sophie Mutter later also studied.
More remarks: Last year we sold here on ebay a concert program from a music peformance in the early years of the 20th century with a spanisch soprano singer, bela Bartok at the piano and Stefi Geyer at the violin. The story of this concert was: the spanish singer loved Bartok, Bartok loved Geyer, but Geyer was interesting aso for other men. So in this concert the emotions were very strong ... Bartok - as mentioned above - wrote his 2nd violin concerto for Geyer. But something must have happened. She never played it. And when she was dying in the 1950ies, she asked the other important Swiss violinist HansHeinz Schnnberger for a 1st World performance of Bartoks work.
