János Négyesy

János Négyesy (1938–2013) was a Hungarian violinist celebrated for his passionate dedication to contemporary classical music and collaborative spirit. Known for his technical brilliance and expressive playing, he championed works by modern composers like Béla Bartók and Charles Ives, as heard in recordings such as *Béla Bartók: The Complete Violin Duos* and *Ives: Die vier Sonaten für Violine und Klavier*. A longtime professor at the University of California, San Diego, Négyesy also nurtured new generations of musicians while maintaining a vibrant performance career.
