Abstract
AbstractHungarian violinists have been influencing the classical music world for centuries, and the lineage of great artists worldwide can often be traced back to Hungarian violinists. Jenö Hubay has been the person who brought this tradition worldwide; his reputation and renown have elevated the Hungarian violin school to the point where it is considered equally as prominent as the other famous schools (German, French or Russian violin school traditions). This dissertation aims to give an overall picture of Hungary historically, how the violin tradition developed through the centuries, and how it has influenced later generations of musicians. The dissertation will first give a brief historical background of Europe in the 19th century. After this first introductory chapter, the dissertation will explore the predecessors of Hubay. Then, the life of Hubay will be examined, from his student years until his mature age. The chapter to follow will discuss his successful teaching, violin method and philosophy. Hubay was known for his detailed approach to teaching the violin, starting from the very basics of posture leading to the complex technical challenges of the left and right hands. Then, the dissertation will discuss how influential Hubay is as a person in Hungary. Finally, the international legacy of the Hubay school will be examined through his successful students.
