Enescu, George (1881 - 1955):
The greatest of Romanian musicians, George Enescu was equally remarkable as a
violinist and as a composer. He contributed significantly to the development of
music in his own country, although much of his activity centred on Paris, where
he was a pupil of Marsick and for composition of Fauré and Massenet. His violin
pupils include Grumiaux, Ferras, Gitlis and Menuhin.
Eugene Ionesco - Biography:
Eugen Ionescu was born on November 26th 1909 (the 13th according to the
orthodoxe calendar) in Slatina, Romania, 150 km from Bucharest. Many sources
indicate that he was born in 1912. The error is due to a "coquettery"
of the author. In the early fifties, he had "lied" himself three years
younger after having read a statement by the critic HENRY COANDA:
Henry
Coanda (1886-1972)The most interesting machine, which attracted lots of people,
and caused the visitors to gather in a crowd around it, was a red airplane which
was missing the propeller; beside it, on a metallic shell, was written:
COANDA-1910. This airplane caused the people to be so curious not only because
it was missing the propeller, but also because of the fact that it was
completely different from what people knew by that time an airplane looked like.
