Contains: Capriccio-Valse Op.7 (1852) and Variations on an Original Theme Op.15 (1854). Preface The Polish-born Henri Wieniawski entered the Paris Conservatory of Music at an unprecedented young age of 8 as double major in violin and composition. He graduated at age 11. His concert career started first in Europe and then the United States. His prodigious repertory included solo works by Mozart, Beethoven Mendelssohn, Tartini, Paganini, and of course his own compositions. Much of his sizeable output has stood the test of time. Written in a romantic style, his works are showpieces of the first order. His specialties as violin virtuoso are represented in both the Capriccio Valse as well as the Variations on an Original Theme. Sustaining triple and quadruple chords, cantilena in the highest positions, rapid string crossing, playing melody left hand pizzicato while performing bowed accompaniment, rapid on-string and off-string staccato, alternating right hand pizzicato with solid notes and harmonics are all examples of the technical virtuosity displayed. The great pedagogue Leopold Auer stated that the greatest violinist he ever heard was Henri Wieniawski, even considering his own students, Jascha Heifetz and Nathan Milstein.
