	GEORGE ENESCU
		George Enescu was born in the town of Liveni on August 19, 1881.
		Enescu began to compose in styles which he knew or just imagined, but it was very fascinating to others because of his young age and his very limited range of exposure to classical music.
		Enescu grew to be attached to her and when she died he dedicated to her memory all the works which had not already been dedicated to someone else(Malcolm, p75).

	George Enescu, the composer - Berlin Enescu Days 2005 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		George Enescu - a famous musician since his early childhood, highly appraised in Europe and in North America for both his performances as a violin virtuoso as well as his well-known Romanian Rhapsodies.
		Enescu is not yet 18 years old when finishing the sonata and has not reached his 19th birthday when delivering the octet.
		I am naturally not referring myself to Enescu's own country (where his presence in culture and media is represented at an average level), but to the international concert life, where Enescu is not appearing with a regularity matching the true value of his works.

	George ENESCU Part I: Enescu the composer Evan Dickerson - May 2005 MusicWeb-International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		George Enescu was one of the towering musical figures of the twentieth century, yet fifty years after his death, his work remains largely unknown, and his lasting importance mostly unrecognised, outside his native Romania.
		Enescu was born in Liveni, a small town in the Moldavian region of northern Romania in 1881, two years before Wagner’s death.
		Enescu was quite clear that this work was in the Romanian character rather than the Romanian style, indicating the use of his own thematic material to be played as if by a gypsy violinist with innate musical reaction and technique, rather than a mannered classical violinist’s technique.

		Enescu once remarked that he found remembering his own works more difficult than those of other composers because he did not have that degree of objectivity about the work, he felt too closely connected with its genesis and the related emotions.
		These two performances, which are a commemoration of the composer conducted by his godfather, Enescu, in collaboration with his widow and a pupil, should be taken as something of a family affair and a mark of the tireless work Enescu did to promote Romanian contemporaries outside their native land.
		Enescu’s gentle presence is there as ever, and Menuhin responds instinctively to this in the way he shapes the outer movements with their introspection and transition.

		Yet Enescu's works are not only challenging to play but to listen to, because there is so much music in his pieces; with the Octet, I think you have to listen to it at least a couple of times before you begin to realize all its wonderful, precious details.
		Enescu was neither Second Viennese School nor an imitator of folk music in a style ideologically supported by the wishful thinking of a totalitarian government.
		Some critics at the time thought Enescu was too much like this or then too much like that, but in fact, he wasn't imitating anyone; he spoke in his own powerful, personal voice, one that people just had difficulty hearing.

		Enescu never forgot his home, set amidst the Carpathian peaks, and graduated with distinction from Conservatoire before his 11th birthday.
		Brahms was a lifelong hero, as was Wagner (indicating Enescu's broad sympathies) who became, as he sad, "part of my vascular system." Enescu was at the Vienna premiere of Massenet's Werther in 1892 and he entered the Paris Conservatoire, studying composition with Massenet.
