From Leschetizky as I Knew Him, 1921 by Ethel Newcomb

The bare facts of Theodor Leschetizky's life are well known. His distinguished personality has been the subject of several books and many articles of merit. One book is by the countess Potocka, his sister-in-law, another by Anette Hullah, his pupil.

He was born in Poland, at the Castle of Lancut, near Lemberg, June 22, 1830. His father, a Bohemian by birth, held the position of Music Master to the family of the Potocka. His mother, Therese Von Ullman, was a Pole. Leschetizky died in Dresden in 1915.

Much besides has been said and written of him as a teacher, and of his manner of instruction, and a great diversity of opinion expressed concerning the so-called "method." Madame Breé, and Fräulein Prentner, two of his most experienced assistants, have written admirable books.
