We present you with the second volume devoted to the life and work of Henryk Wieniawski. The volume under title Henryk Wieniawski and the 19th Century Violin Schools. Techniques of Playing, Performance, Questions of Sources and Editorial Issues comprises the proceedings of the second international musicological conference held in Poznań from March 10 to 12, 2005 under the auspices of the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society and in cooperation with the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań. Adam Mickiewicz University – Department of Musicology, Committee of Musicology of the Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences. This time the life and work of Henryk Wieniawski were looked upon from the perspective of the 19th century national schools of violin playing with other virtuosi of Wieniawski's times: Louis Spohr, Joseph Joachim, Niccolò Paganini or František Ondříček being interpreted and studied. These general historic and comparative studies are supplemented by papers devoted to the questions of editorial issues, sources research and teaching.

The conference was attended by scholars from the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Norway, Hungary and Poland who had participated in previous sessions in Poznań and whose papers had been included in the first volume of proceedings published by the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society in 2001 (Henryk Wieniawski.
