Wieniawski

[ vye-nyahf-skee ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Mr. Sherwood was fond of giving students the Josef Wieniawski Valse, for brilliancy.

Wieniawski, like nearly all the great performers, showed his talent while very young.

He remained in Brussels until 1877, when, Vieuxtemps becoming convalescent, Wieniawski set forth once more on his travels.

Wieniawski was a man of somewhat enthusiastic nature, and his actions were not always tempered by the most perfect wisdom.

Wieniawski, greatly surprised, replied: "Oh, when I play upon it it will regain its tone."
