About this person
As an adult he was admired both as a soloist and as a chamber musician; it was said that he played with Johann Nepomuk Hummel's simplicity and elegance without sacrificing the brilliance of the instrument. As a composer he had an original style that was rich in musical ideas, attractive melodies, and effortless harmonies. In 1856, he retired from the music scene and settled in the Dauphiné in south-east France.
