Karol Józef Lipiński
(Radzyń, 30 October 1790 - Urłów, nr Lemberg, 16 December 1861)

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.
