__NOTOC__ August Emil Daniel Ferdinand Wilhelmj ((:vɪlˈhɛlmi); 21 September 1845 in Usingen22 January 1908 in London) was a German violinist and teacher. Wilhelmj was considered a child prodigy. When Henriette Sontag heard him in 1852, when he was seven, she said "You will be the German Paganini". In 1861, Franz Liszt heard him and sent him to Ferdinand David with a letter containing the words "Let me present you the future Paganini!".〔Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, 5th ed, 1954, reprinted 1966, Vol. IX, p. 297〕 His teachers included: Ferdinand David, for the violin, Moritz Hauptmann, for music theory and composition, and Joachim Raff for composition.〔 He has become famous for his late nineteenth century arrangement of the second movement of J. S. Bach's Orchestral Suite No. 3 for violin and piano, known as ''Air on the G String''〔 and for his re-orchestration of the 1st movement of Niccolò Paganini's Violin Concerto No.1 in D major Op.6 (1883/84).〔(Ivry Gitlis plays Paganini-Wilhelmj Violin Concerto No.1 (rec.1950) )〕 From 1894 on he was a Professor of violin at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. Among his pupils were American violinist Nahan Franko, Canadian musician Donald Heins, and the Australian conductor Aylmer Buesst.〔 Wilhelmj owned a Stradivarius 1725 violin from 1866 until his retirement, which later came to be known by his name. == See also == * List of classical violinists 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「August Wilhelmj」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
