Viotti

Then followed the short management of Viotti, and in 1821 F. Habeneck was called to the managerial chair.

It was shortly after this that De Briot took lessons from him, and he it was who gave him the letter of introduction to Viotti.

Fetis tells us that the arrival of Viotti in Paris produced a sensation difficult to describe.

Although not definitely a pupil of Viotti or Baillot he was much influenced by both.
