WIENIAWSKI, HENRI (18351880)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 623 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WIENIAWSKI, HENRI (18351880) , Polish violinist and composer, was born at
Lublin
 , in Poland, on the loth of July 1835. He was a pupil of the Paris Conservatoire from 1843 to 1846, and again in 18491850. Meanwhile he had given concerts in his native country and in
Russia
 , and in 185o entered upon the career of a travelling virtuoso, together with his brother Joseph, a distinguished pianist. He was appointed solo violinist to the tsar in 1860, and taught in the Conservatoire of St Peters-burg from 1862 to 1867. He went on tour again in 1872 with Rubinstein in America, and on his return in 1874 was appointed to succeed Vieuxtemps as professor in the Brussels Conservatoire; but, like his predecessor, he was compelled through ill-
health
  to give up the post after three years, returning to a public career in spite of his illness, until his death, which occurred in a
hospital
 
    See Also:
in Moscow, on the 31st of
March
  1880. He was a wonderfully sympathetic solo player, and a good if not a
great
  quartet player. His Legende, the fantasias on Faust and on Russian airs, his two concertos and some other pieces, have retained their high place in the
violin
  repertory.
