After some nine years with Sevcik, Zacharewitsch continued his studies with Ysaye in Brussels, but he had already, with his appearance in 1893 at Amsterdam under Mengelberg, began his career as a virtuoso which was to take him over four of the five continents and to most of the European capitals. He gave his first recital in London in 1903 and toured the English provinces. Citizenship: Zacharewitsch became a British subject in 1915.
