Life

Feltz was born in Königsberg in 1937.[2] His family was expelled from Königsberg in 1945 after the end of the war.[1] Feltz began playing the violin at the age of seven.[2] He studied violin in Berlin with Werner Scholz, later in St. Petersburg with Michail Waiman.[2]

Feltz began to teach violin and chamber music in 1963 at the Hochschule für Musik "Hanns Eisler".[1] In 1985, he was appointed professor for violin and chamber music.[2] Feltz is in great demand as a lecturer for chamber music master classes. He is a regular guest teacher at the Davos Festival,[4] the Heidelberger Frühling[2] or at the Dutch String Quartet Academy.[5] Feltz often assumes responsibility on juries of chamber music competitions such as the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Hochschulwettbewerb[6] of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation in Berlin,[2] the competition Schubert und die Musik der Moderne[7] in Graz or the International Chamber Music Competition in Hamburg.[8]

As a mentor of chamber music ensembles, Feltz initially supported the Vogler Quartet, later the Berlin Kuss Quartet and Atrium Quartet, the Dutch Rubens Quartet and the German-Estonian Schumann Quartet.[1] In addition, he worked with the French Quatuor Ébène, the Amsterdam Busch Trio, the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam.

Feltz's book 'Genauer als Worte. Intuitives Finden – 44 Übungen' was published by Davos Festival Foundation in 2017.[9]
