Henryk Wieniawski. Composer and Virtuoso in the Musical Culture of the 19th and 20th Centuries is another publication of the Henryk Wieniawski Musical Society in Poznań, one which arose out of the first international musicological conference entitled Henryk Wieniawski, Composer and Virtuoso from the perspective of the musical culture of the 19th and 20th Centuries –  to be held in Poznań, from 13 to 14 April 2000. Alongside the Society, other conference organisers included the Department of Musicology of the Institute of Art History at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, the Poznań Society for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences, and the Ignacy Jan Paderewski Academy of Music in Poznań.

The book contains also extended bibliography, chronology of concert performances of Henryk Wieniawski (1835-1880) and discography (add in).
