Bieniawski

Japanese: ビエニアフスキ

Polish violinist and composer. Also known as Bieniawski. Born in Lublin, he entered the Paris Conservatory at the age of eight. He studied under the famous Belgian violinist J.L. Massard (1811-1892). After making his debut in Paris and St. Petersburg, he traveled around Europe with his brother, a piano player, and established his reputation. He served as the court violinist in St. Petersburg from 1860 to 1871, and in 1874 he became professor of violin at the Brussels Conservatory, succeeding Butan. His bowing technique, in which the right elbow is positioned higher than usual, was inherited by Auer, and influenced the playing style of Russian performers in the first half of the 20th century. His students included Ysaé. His representative work is the Violin Concerto No. 2 (1862), and other short violin pieces such as Memories of Moscow and Polonaise Brillante No. 2 are widely loved. The Bieniawski International Violin Competition (held every five years in Poznan) is one of the stepping stones for violinists to enter the international stage.

ポーランドのバイオリン奏者，作曲家。ビエニャフスキとも。ルブリンに生まれ，８歳でパリ音楽院に入学。ベルギーの名バイオリン奏者J.L.マサール〔1811-1892〕に学ぶ。パリとペテルブルグにデビュー後，ピアノ奏者の弟とヨーロッパ各地を楽旅し名声を確立。1860年−1871年ペテルブルグの宮廷バイオリン奏者を務め，1874年ビュータンの後任としてブリュッセル音楽院バイオリン教授に就任。右肘(ひじ)の位置を従来より高くしたその運弓法はアウアーに継承され，ロシアの演奏家を中心に20世紀前半の奏法に影響を与えた。弟子にイザイエなど。代表作に《バイオリン協奏曲第２番》（1862年）があり，ほかに《モスクワの思い出》《華麗なポロネーズ第２番》などのバイオリン小品が広く親しまれている。その名を冠した〈ビエニアフスキ国際バイオリン・コンクール〉（ポズナニで５年ごとに開催）は，バイオリン奏者の国際舞台への登竜門の一つ。
