Ezra Jenkinson
Ezra Jenkinson (* 1872 in Todmorden, England; died 1947 also in Todmorden) was an English composer and violinist. His best known work, the "Elves dance", makes extensive use of spiccato and is a show piece for intermediate beginners of the violin.
Life
According to the English author and artist William Holt, Jenkinson was given a grant by a local patron to study music in Leipzig, Germany in his youth. After seven years, he returned to his home town to live alone and avoided the public after selling the rights to his compositions.[1]
