08/06/1753, Muret, Haute-Garonne, France - 27/11/1809, Paris, France
French composer of the Classical period. He was nicknamed "the Musician poet". His first compositions were violin duos, string trios and quartets. He published them under a pseudonym with Italian consonance. The quartets were very successful, and the true identity of their author was eventually discovered. Among his most popular works, opera-comique "Nina, or The Woman Crazed with Love" (1786), which tackles the theme of madness and arouses real enthusiasm during its creation.
