It is by Joseph Boulogne, aka Chevalier St George , who was born in 1739 in Guadaloupe - at that time a French colony – and died in 1799 in France. His father was a former French parliamentary councillor and his mother a black woman from Guadaloupe. He started having violin lessons before moving to Paris aged 10, where his life changed dramatically. He took part in a wide range of activities including riding, swimming, dancing, skating and fencing, excelling in the last and becoming a master swordsman. By his early twenties he was performing his first two violin concertos, opus 2. He had a successful musical career as conductor, violinist and composer, though his colour barred him from the top jobs and prevented him from ever marrying. He later had a military career, then went to Saint Domingue to support a slave rebellion there. When he returned to France in 1797, he tried to resume his musical career but sadly was unsuccessful and, 2 years later, died a pauper. His compositions include operas, symphonies, violin concertos, 12 string quartets and several other chamber works. | Langues : | Anglais (eng) | Catégories : | Alto (violon) Quatuor Quatuor à cordes Violon Violoncelle
