Georges
Bizet's opera Carmen had
its first performance in
Paris in 1875. In the
audience was the
17-year-old Hungarian
violin virtuoso and
budding composer Jeno
Hubay. After the
performance Hubay started
writing his Carmen
Fantasy from memory. The
following season for his
debut recital in Paris,
he included his newly
created composition. It
is a lyrical work of
great beauty and
brilliance. Hubay
combined his career of a
concertizing virtuoso,
composer and violin
pedagogue. At the Royal
Conservatory in Brussels
he became the successor
of Vieuxtemps and
Wieniawski. Later, Franz
Liszt invited Hubay to
lead the violin
department in the newly
created Budapest Music
Academy. He created the
world-renowned Hungarian
school of violin playing.
His student, Franz von
Vecsey, recorded
theCarmen Fantasy in 1904
at age 11! His other
students included Joseph
Szigeti, Zoltan Szekely,
Sandor Vegh, Endre
Gertler, Gyorgy Garay and
many more. Hubay was a
very active composer,
creating over 120 works
including operas,
ballets, concertos, songs
and instrumental
compositions. Pablo de
Sarasate wrote his Carmen
Fantasy in 1882. It is a
composition of drama and
passion, written with his
unparalleled brilliance
for violin writing. This
work has remained in the
standard repertory, on
programs of virtuoso
soloists, as well as a
required work for major
competitions..
