being a ’cellist in the Opera and
Concerts classiques at Mar
seilles.
An original in everything, Zi
no’s father decided that his in
fant son should not be called any
of the usual diminutives; so on
the day of his birth he invented
the nickname “Zino’’ for him.
No one in the family ever dis
covered the why and wherefore of
“Zino,” but the name stuck and
Francescatti always thinks of it
as his real one, which is “Rene.”
It was Francescatti’s mother
who kept her son at his violin
practicing in spite of his father’s
decision that he was to be a law
yer, the vocation of the family
for generations until music “got
in their blood.”
Zino began to play the violin
at three and made his first public
appearance at five. When he was
ten, he appeared as soloist with a
local orchestra playing the Bee
thoven concerto.
But his father’s conviction held
firm, and when he was old enough
Zino began his studies for the bar.
He was in the midst of this train
ing when his father died sudden
ly. The family needed money des
perately, and their most immedi
ately saleable asset was Zino's
talent with the violin.
The law studies were cut short
and at the age of 22 Francescatti
was in Paris, embarked on a con
cert career.
He was immediately given an
audition by Jacques Thibaud and
the same year appeared as soloist
with the most distinguished or
chestra in France, the Concerts
du Conservatoire under Philippe
Gaubert.
