    • A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Panofka, Heinrich

    ​PANOFKA, Heinrich, born Oct. 1, 1807, at Breslau. His early life was a struggle between duty in the shape of the law, and inclination in that of music. Music at length prevailed, his father consented to his wishes, and at the age of 17 he quitted the College of Breslau and put himself under Maysederfor the violin, and Hoffmannfor composition, both at Vienna. He remained with them studying hard for three years. In 1827 he gave his first concert. In 1829 he left Vienna for Munich, and thence went to Berlin. In 1831 his father died, and Panofka came into his patrimony. After some lengthened travelling he settled at Paris in 1834 as a violin-player. After a time he turned his attention to singing, and in conjunction with Bordogni founded in 1842 an 'Académie de chant.' In 44 he came to London, and in 47 (Jenny Lind'syear) was engaged by Mr. Lumleyas one of his assistants at Her Majesty's Theatre. The Revolution of 1848 fixed him here; he published a 'Practical Singing Tutor,' and was widely known as a teacher. In 1852 he returned to Paris, where he is still residing [App. p.738 "He died at Florence, Nov. 18, 1887"]. His principal works are 'L'Art de chanter' (op. 81); 'L'Ecole de Chant,' of which a new edition has very lately appeared; 24 Vocalises progressives (op. 85); Abecédaire vocal (2nd ed.); 12 Vocalises d'artiste (op. 86);—all published by Brandus. He has translated Baillot's 'Nouvelle Méthode' for the violin into German. Panofka has also published many works, violin and piano, and violin and orchestra, but it is not necessary to give these.

    Musical artist

    Heinrich Panofka (3 October 1807 – 18 November 1887) was a German violinist, voice teacher, writer on music and composer.

    Life

    Panofka was born in Breslau (present-day Wrocław) in 1807. As a child, he made rapid progress on the violin, and first performed in public aged ten. In 1824 he went to Breslau University to study law, according to the wishes of his father; afterward, following his own wishes, he went to Vienna where he was a student of the violinist Joseph Mayseder.

    In 1827 he performed successfully in Vienna and tried to follow up his success by traveling to Munich and Berlin. On the death of his father in 1831 he received his inheritance. Although in the following year he was persuaded by pianist Wenzeslaus Hauck to go on a concert tour through Germany, he gave up touring in 1833.

    In 1834 Panofka settled in Paris; here he met the singing teacher Marco Bordogni, and other singers including Giovanni Battista Rubini, Luigi Lablache and Domenico Donzelli. He became interested in the training of the voice, and with Bordogni he founded in 1842 an Académie de chant.

    He moved to London in 1844, and in 1847 was engaged by Benjamin Lumley as one of his assistants at Her Majesty's Theatre. He became known as a teacher and published A Practical Singing Tutor and other vocal studies. He returned to Paris in 1852; about 1855 he published L'art de chanter. It was translated into Italian and German, and was much discussed before it gained acceptance from musical institutes.

    From 1866 Panofka lived in Florence; he died in 1887.

    Works

    Other works by Panofka include compositions for violin and piano, and for violin and orchestra. He translated Pierre Baillot's L'art du violon into German. Interested in the musical issues of the day, he contributed to Robert Schumann's mag
