As Polish violinist and composer Henryk Wieniawski had been alternately living in different countries, such as Russia, Belgium, and France (more exactly, Paris; he was studying in the conservatoire there) , one might think he was not especially persistent kind of person. Well, in terms of abiding-place it may have been so; as for his instrument of choice, his devotion was inconceivable – acknowledged virtuoso, Wieniawski had been writing almost exclusively for violin, and his works are now considered among the most notional in the repertoire.
Furthermore, not only Wienawski was good at drawing a bow across the violin’s strings but also in strumming the strings of the soul: parents of his bride discommended their marriage, but a work he composed made them temper justice with mercy. Here is Wieniawski’s Kujawiak for Violin and Piano – enjoy.
