 "Between 1888 and 1894, Brahms was coming often - says Enescu - to see the student orchestra rehearsals that I was a part; he was listening my colleague's compositions, following the partiture, flipping the pages, mumbling. As first violinist I sang in the Brahms presence his first Symphony - this splendid Symphony whose finale is inspired from the IX^th Symphony - and I played in the same position his Concert in Re minor, Op.15 for Piano and Orchestra."

At the opera theatre where the Wagner's operas were played often, under the famous orchestra leader hans Richter, the Bayreuth artist's music entered Enescu's soul who, altough fought in the future to shake off its influences, to "de-wagnerize" himself - how says Enescu - didn't stop to loving it all his life. So, after graduating the Conservatory, Enescu lived on in Vienna where he continued to learn composition with Robert Fuchs, attend concerts, opera shows and meanwhile study the violin with his teacher until the spring of 1893.
