Polish violinist, conductor, composer and teacher. He received training
in violin and music from his father Feliks Lipiński (1765-1847). In 1809
he became concertmaster of the Lemberg Theater orchestra, where he
conducted from 1811 to 1815. In 1817 he traveled to Italy to hear
Paganini. In 1818 the two met in Padua, and Paganini was so impressed
with his talent as a violinist that the two performed together in
Piacenza. Between 1819 and 1828 he made tours of Poland, Germany, and
Russia, and then toured throughout the whole of Europe. On 25 April
1836, he appeared as soloist in his own Military Concerto for Violin and
Orchestra in London. In 1839 he settled in Dresden as concertmaster of
the Court Orchestra, a position he retained until his retirement in
1861. He also was active as a conductor, performed with his own string
quartet, and taught. Among his most famous pupils were Joseph Joachim
and Henryk Wieniawski. While Lipinski was praised as the equal in
technical virtuosity to Paganini, he became best known for upholding the
classical ideals of violin playing espoused by Viotti and Spohr. He
composed a comic opera, Klótnia przez zaklad (Lemberg, 1814), and other
stage works, 3 symphonies, 4 violin concertos, pieces for Violin and
Piano, Caprices for Violin, and numerous technical studies for violin.
He was regarded as one of the best violinists in the first half of the
19th century.
