Compositions
He began to travel in 1749, finding great success in Vienna. In 1753, he became a member of the court orchestra at Stuttgart, where Pietro Nardini was leader. He twice visited Paris, performing successfully. He died – murdered, according to the report – in Paris in 1780. Although he had great technical ability, contemporary critics thought that his playing style did not retain that of his teacher Tartini.
He wrote for the violin: he left a concerto, six trio sonatas and 36 sonatas for solo violin.
