Abstract

Jenő Hubay (1858–1937) attained his greatest stature as the founder of the Hungarian Violin School. Although Hubay’s name is mostly mentioned in violin pedagogy, he was also a popular composer during his lifetime. He composed over 300 violin works, and his role as composer is underestimated unlike those of contemporaries such as Eugène Ysa€ye. The present paper focuses on the performance perspectives in Hubay’s violin concertos, by examining the historical background of each concerto, followed by a systematic approach to violin and musical techniques. This includes guidelines for determining tempo, dynamics/dynamic planning, bowing/articulation, tempo rubato, and portamenti/vibrato to create a style of performance appropriate to Hubay’s works.
