KONZERTMEISTER(3)STANISLAS

By Grove Dictionary on July 7, 2013 in K

(b. Oct. 8, 1820), pianist and pupil of Antoine, lived at S t . Petersburg and in Paris. (4) A p o l l i n a i r e (b. Warsaw, Oct. 23, 1825; d. there, June 29, 1879) was a violinist. His first master was his elder brother Charles (1). He showed the same precocity of talent as the rest of his family, performing in public concerts at an age of not much over 4 years. Later on he travelled a great deal, chiefly in Russia, but also in France and Germany, and made a certain sensation by his really exceptional technical proficiency, not unaccompanied by a certain amount of charlatanism. In 1837 he is said 1 to have attracted the attention of Paganini in Paris, and to have formed a friendship with the great virtuoso which resulted in his receiving some lessons 2 from him (an honour which he shared with Sivori) and ultimately becoming heir to his violins and violin compositions. This, however, requires confirmation. He made tours in France and Germany in 1847, and in 1853 was appointed solo-violinist to the Emperor of Russia, and in 1861 director of the Warsaw Conservatoire. He played a solo at one of the Russian concerts given in connection with the Exhibition at Paris in 1878. His compositions (fantasias and the like) are musically unimportant. (5) E u g e n i e , sister of the above, was a competent pianist, who performed with Stanislas and Apollinaire (Riemann). p. D.
