Born in 1835, Henryk Wieniawski became a virtuoso violinist and composer whose playing set a standard that endured long past his death in 1880. He was also a pedagogue, training the next wave of talent while performing across Europe. His younger brother Józef and nephew Adam Tadeusz both pursued music professionally, and his daughter Régine - who married into British nobility and composed under the pen name Poldowski - carried the line forward. The Wieniawski name became shorthand for a certain kind of brilliance: technically flawless, musically alive.
