There is not a great deal known about the violinist, teacher and composer Edward Mollenhauer (18271914) from Erfurt. However, two of his compositions virtually immortalized him: the fantasia The Infant Paganini as well as the somewhat more difficult sister work The Boy Paganini (Schott ED 21703). Both are played with great enthusiasm by young violinists all over the world. Both compositions present a sparkling display of beautiful melodies and brilliant idiomatic figurations which are effective without being too difficult.

Beaucoup de choses restent inconnues du violoniste, pédagogue et compositeur d'Erfurt Edward Mollenhauer (1827-1914). Il s'est rendu pratiquement immortel par deux seulement de ses compositions : la Fantaisie "The Infant Paganini", qui figure ici, ainsi que son uvre sur un peu plus difficile "The Boy Paganini" (Schott ED 21703) sont jouées partout dans le monde par tous les violonistes. Les deux compositions offrent un feu d'artifice de belles mélodies et de brillantes figures de jeu, impressionnantes sans être par trop difficiles.
