Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst (8 June 1812 – 8 October 1865) was a Moravian-Jewish violinist, violist and composer. He was widely seen as the outstanding violinist of his time and one of Niccolò Paganini's greatest successors. Some said Paganini mastered the difficulties better, but Ernst played with more sentiment. Ernst also played the viola and performed the solo viola part of Berlioz's Harold en Italie multiple times. After 1844 he lived chiefly in England. He joined the Beethoven Quartet Society in London and played Beethoven String quartets with Joseph Joachim, Henryk Wieniawski and Carlo Alfredo Piatti.
