One composer that shared this man's surname wrote seven operas, but Rossini's success forced him to turn to sacred choral work like L'uomo contento and Christus.
One composer that shared this man's surname wrote seven operas, but Rossini's success forced him to turn to sacred choral work like L'uomo contento and Christus. This composer used double harmonics for the first time in a piece named for the witches represented by oboes he had seen in a Vigano and Sussmayr ballet. Liszt wrote Grand Fantasia de Bravoure sur La Clochette upon hearing the final movement of this man's opus seven, which was followed by a work with an adagio movement marked "cantabile spianato" with the orchestral accompaniment playing pizzicato. One of his early works is a scordatura "Sonata" actually based on one theme in three variations played by tuning the G string up a minor third and was composed for the wife of a man he was instructing, the sister of its namesake, Napoleon. After performing a double concerto with a colleague at La Scala, he said that Lafont was good but not exciting. He wrote over 100 pieces for guitar but is better known for another instrument. For 10 points, name this composer of Twenty-Four Caprices, a violin virtuoso.
