I'd be very grateful for a translation from Polish into English of this encyclopedia entry about cellist Efrem Kinkulkin, especially the sources that are cited. If a date of death is mentioned, I missed it.

Many thanks.

Kinkulkin Efrem (also Affrem Aron) born December 13th 1884 [1888] in Vilna; date of death unknown. Virtuoso violoncellist, composer. Son of a well-known bookseller in Vilna. Studied under Julius Klengl at Lipsk Conservatoire. Taught cello playing upon return to Vilna. Worked as a soloist in Stockholm, gave concert tours of Europe. Also lived for some time in St Petersburg. In 1925-1932 was soloist with the symphony orchestra of Lipsk. Composed cello works. In 1933 together with violinist Leo Schwartz and pianist Hella Chitrik created the Mendelssohn Trio in Lipsk. Collaborated with jewish choral society "Hazomir". Returned to Vilna when Hitler came to power.

The sources are at the bottom, probably two, the first on lines 8-6 from the bottom; the second, on lines 4-1 from the bottom. The reference that is found on lines 10 (end) and 9 from the bottom is either incomplete or part of the first full reference, which follows (from line 8).
