Ede Reményi belongs to the musical record as a figure whose work outlasted the moment that produced it.
The record lists Ede Reményi as Hungarian violinist and composer (1828–1898).
Ede Reményi was born at Miskolc in 1828. His recorded nationality is Hungary. He trained at University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna.
This was the century of the virtuoso and the touring soloist, when a performer could become famous across a continent.
He worked as composer, violinist and musician.
The instruments recorded are violin.
Music outlives its context more reliably than any other art, and usually for reasons its makers did not predict.
That the work came out of Hungary shaped it: musical traditions, training institutions and the reach of a recording industry all differ by country.
Ede Reményi died in 1898, aged 70. The recordings and scores remain, which is the only durable form a musical life takes.
