| Abstract: |
The mansion by the Danube at Budapest that belonged to the Hungarian violinist, teacher and composer Jenõ Hubay (1858-1937) was for decades a leading cultural venue. It was famous not only for its musical events, but for its art collection as well, since the musician and his wife the countess Róza Cebrian spent the greater part of their income on works of art. At the same time Hubay -- like his role model Franz Liszt -- developed wide- ranging personal contacts; among his friends were hundreds of celebrities from the world of art, science, economics and politics, with the result that he acquired thousands of letters, photographs and other documents. To these were added the documents of his career as a composer and performer. At the end of the second world war the Hubay mansion was hit by a bomb, after which what remained of his collection began an adventurous life. The present article attempts to reconstruct the origins of Hubay's legacy and how it once was. In addition it provides information on its subsequent fate -- a story worthy of a detective novel.
