János Bihari (1764-1824/1827?) was an influential Hungarian Romni violinist. By the middle of the nineteenth century, "Gypsy music" was elevated to high fashion. The first great was that of Janos Bihari, the virtuoso violinist from the county of Pressburg (now Bratislava, Hungarian Pozsony). Franz Liszt said of him: "The tones sung by his magic violin flow on our enchanted ears like the tears..."
