Review

Johann Stamitz's eldest son, was formed in the orchestra of Mannheim and then led a life of virtuous violin itinerant and rapes her through Paris, London, The Hague and other capitals.

He was one of the great cultivators of the concert symphony, very fashionable in Paris. His concerts for viola and clarinet remain a regular repertoire. He spent his last years as a professor at Jena University.
