Abstract
Among Henryk Wieniawskis works are the highly advanced violin compositions such as Violin Concerti, Theme Original Varie, Polonaises or Capriccio-Valse. His music also covers less complex pieces that introduce violinists to his musical style, techniques and selection of motives which often have their roots in traditional Polish music. The composer spent most of his life traveling or as an active musician and teacher in Russia. Therefore, research on his music is available mostly in Polish - his native language and Russian. English speakers would highly benefit from having access to English texts that analyze Wieniawskis works. The purpose of the present study is to create an intercultural bridge between the Polish musician and the English-speaking audience.
