2) Anton Stamitz

This is Stamitz, my first real teacher. He started teaching me when I was at the age of 12 and I even preformed one of my first concertos with him! He's taught me a lot of what I know and he's a phenomenal musician.

7) Violin Sonata No. 9 in A Major "Kreutzer"

Ludwig van Beethoven wrote and dedicated this song to me. I never played it, I'm not so much a fan of his style, although I am more well known for this piece rather than my own music.

8) Marie Antoinette

This is a painting of Marie Antoinette by Jean-Baptiste. She played a very large role in my life after my parents deaths by, for lack of a better way to put it, taking care of me. She made sure that I got a job in the king's royal orchestra, that way I could support myself.

9) Vienna, Austria

Vienna is where I toured in 1798 as a member of the French Ambassador's party. This party was ordered by Napoleon Bonaparte to bring Italian manuscripts back to France. This was how I met Bonaparte, and the reason I became his solo violinist a few years later.

10) Viotti

Viotti is one of the most inspiring musicians I've ever known. My most popular work, the 42 etudes ou caprices, are based on his bowing style and technique.
