He quickly rose to fame as a Violinist, appearing as a soloist until 1810. In 1798, when at Vienna in the service of the French ambassador, Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte (later King ofSweden and Norway), Kreutzer the made the aquaintance of Beethoven and became the dedicatee of his Violin Sonata No. 9, Op. 47 (1803). Kreutzer, however, never played the work, declaring it unplayable and incomprehensible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1795 until 1826 Kreutzer taught at the Conservatoire de Paris, where he became co-author of the Conservatoire's Violin method with Pierre Rode and Pierre Baillot. He was also leader of the Paris Opera for a time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis volume contains Kreutzer's 42 Études, which are, to this day, considered fundamental studies for student Violinists.","brand":"Edition Peters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53357152993547,"sku":"HAS-EP284","price":20.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0760\/6327\/7323\/files\/HAS-EP284-1.jpg?v=1789125189","url":"https:\/\/dbmusicstore.com\/products\/rodolphe-kreutzer-42-studies-or-caprices","provider":"Dbmusicstore Utrecht","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
