NIKISCH, ARTHUR (1855-- )

This article appears in Volume V19, Page 690 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NEW-NUM
NIKISCH, ARTHUR (1855-- ) , Hungarian conductor, became known as a musical
prodigy
  at an early age, making a public performance as a pianist at eight years old. He studied at the Vienna Conservatoire from 1866 to 1873, and while there he composed a symphony and other
works
 . For a
time
  he was engaged as a violinist, but in 1877 he began as assistant conductor at the
Leipzig
 
opera
  and two years later became
chief
  conductor. His success there, and his reputation as the producer of the more
modern
  types of music as well as of classical masterpieces led to his being appointed conductor of the symphony orchestra at
Boston
 , U.S.A., from 1889 to 1893; and subsequently, after having been director at the
Budapest
 
opera
 , he was made conductor at the
Leipzig
  Gewandhaus. His fame was now wide-spread, and he made successful visits to London, Paris and other capitals, his ability as a
pianoforte
  accompanist being recognized as no less marked than his brilliance as director of an orchestra.
