Full biography Jeno Hubay

Jenő Hubay was a Hungarian violinist, teacher, and composer who lived from 1858 to 1937. He studied violin with Joseph Joachim and composition with Franz Liszt , and established himself as a soloist and teacher.

Hubay composed over 200 pieces for violin, including four full-scale violin concertos , and several operas. He also wrote more than 100 songs and two symphonies. Many of his works were influenced by Hungarian folk music, and are known for their technical difficulty and virtuosity.

In addition to his compositions, Hubay was also a renowned teacher, and his students included such illustrious names as Joseph Szigeti and Jelly d'Arányi. He was also the director of the Franz Liszt Academy of Music in Budapest for a time.

Jenő Hubay is regarded as one of the greatest violinists and composers of his time, and his music continues to be performed and studied today. His most famous piece is probably the fourth movement of his "Scènes de la Csárda," titled "Hejre Kati," which has become a beloved staple of the violin repertoire.
