Editorial Review:
A biography of the great Hungarian violinist Edouard Remenyi, an illustrious musical figure of the 19th century, a court violinist to Queen Victoria and Louis Napoleon, a lifelong friend of Franz Liszt, and the man credited with bringing the talents of Johannes Brahms, to light after discovering the impoverished, barely 18 year old genius, playing in a sailor's saloon on the Hamburg waterfront.

This contains detailed sketches of his life and career by his friends and contemporaries, and has critical reviews of his playing and selections from his literary papers and correspondence. Contributors include: Madame Remenyi, Colonel Henry J. Kowalsky, E.T. Cornelis, Morris Cukor, Dr. Alexander Rixa and others.

This book also features nine illustrated portraits of Remenyi including one of his with Brahms, one with Maximillian Vogrich, his death mask, a portrait of Remenyi with Stradivarius and a few others. This is certainly more than a simple biography. It is a collection of biographical documents, many of them entrusted by Remenyi, others (mainly friends and associates) contributed by solicitation of the editor.
