This article appears in Volume V09, Page 753 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: EMS-EUD
ERNST, HEINRICH WILHELM (18141865) , German violinist and composer, was born at Brunn, in Moravia, in 1814. He was educated at the Conservatorium of Vienna, studying the
violin
  under Joseph Bohm and Joseph Mayseder, and composition under Ignaz von Seyfried. At the age of sixteen he made a concert tour in
south
  Germany, which established his reputation as a violinist of the highest promise. In 1832 he went to Paris, where he lived for several years. During this period he formed an intimacy with Stephen
Heller
 , which resulted in their charming
joint
  compositionsthe Pensees fugitives for piano and
violin
 . In 1843 he paid his first visit to London. The impression which he then made as a violinist was more than confirmed in the following year, when his rare
powers
  were recognized by the musical public. Thenceforward he visited England nearly every year, until his
health
  broke down owing to
long
 -continued neuralgia of a most severe kind. The last seven years of his
life
  were spent in retirement, chiefly at Nice, where he died on the 8th of October 1865. As a violinist Ernst was distinguished by his almost unrivalled executive power, loftiness of conception, and intensely passionate expression. As a composer he wrote chiefly for his753
own
instrument
 , and his Elegie and Otello
Fantasia
  rank among the most treasured works for the violin.
