Violin virtuosos Henryk Wieniawski, Ole Bull, and Pablo de Sarasate each composed short virtuosic works based on their own cultural heritage. This thesis examines the exotic elements incorporated into the character pieces by the three violinists. It draws upon contemporary literature and newspaper reviews of their performances in order to demonstrate the ways in which the violinists and their music were perceived as representative of nineteenth-century exoticism. Wieniawski, whose musical training was primarily French, produced exotic Polish polonaises and mazurkas, which were perceived as evidence of Polish national character, but only in his homeland of Poland. In contrast, Ole Bull's Norwegian heritage was central to his professional persona. His compositions were influenced by Norwegian fiddling and fiddle tunes as well as the pastoral conventions of European art music. Sarasate drew on music from a wide variety of geographical and cultural regions within Spain in his Spanish dances. While his dances were extrememly popular with audiences, critical reception was often dismissive. The individual personas and international receptions of Wieniawski, Bull, and Sarasate were shaped by the musical characteristics of their homelands heard in their works.

Dem Schaffen Henryk Wieniawskis (1835 - 1880) wurde bislang in der Musikpraxis deutlich mehr Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt als in der Musikwissenschaft - ein Schicksal, das er mit vielen sogenannten Virtuosenkomponisten teilt.

I den här uppsatsen analyseras Henryk Wieniawskis violinkonsert i d-moll, Op. 22, sats 1. Syftet med studien är en djupdykning i satsens grundstruktur: funktionsanalys, formanalys, motivanalys, sonatform samt en beskrivning av min instuderingsprocess. Jag guidar läsaren genom verket och kommenterar parallellt mina konstnärliga val. Studien påvisar att verket genomsyras av en kammarmusikalisk dominans såväl som det innehåller en genomgående violinistisk naturlighet som tydligt återspeglar Wieniawskis gedigna personliga violinkännedom.
