Sophie Feuermann, younger sister of the famed cellist, passed away on 11/6 at 99. She was Feuermann's accompanist in the early years of his career.
She was a true survivor. The youngest of 5 children, she was the only one to make it to middle age, and was victimized in the Holocaust as well.
I met her once, she was sharp and lively well into her 90's, and generously offered tips and recollections about her brother and his playing.
R.I.P.
