Mr. Kodjian is an Armenian born Lebanese national who is in this country for the special purpose of studying with Mr. Heifetz. He performs Polonaise Brilliante No. 2 Henri Wieniawski and Brazilian Dance Ao pe da fogueira by F. Valle. The Polonaise Brillante No 2 by Henri Wieniawski is a violin virtuoso piece played in concert to this day by all violinists. Wieniawski, a Polish violin virtuoso who lived between 1825 and 1880, belonged to the great virtuoso violin school which also included Vieuxtemps and Ysaye, Paganini, Sarasate, Joachim, and in the present day, Kreisler and Heifetz. The Polonaise is one of two written by Wieniawski which is a must for all violinists. The Brazilian Dance, Ao pe da fogueira by F. Valle was discovered by Heifetz during a tour in Brazil. Mr. Heifetz who has transcribed around 65 pieces for the violin, created a highly engaging transcription of this charming Brazilian dance.
