Austrian violinist and composer. The son of an impoverished painter, he 
showed talent as a violinist at an early age. He was a pupil of Joseph 
Suche in 1797 and of Anton Wranitzky from 1798. Encouraged by Ignaz 
Schuppanzigh, he made his first public appearance with brilliant success
 at a morning concert in the Augarten in 1800. In 1802 he began piano 
and composition lessons with Emanuel Aloys Förster. In 1810 he was 
appointed leader of the Hoftheater orchestra in Vienna, soloist at the 
Hofkapelle (1816) and later soloist to the emperor (1835) and musical 
director of the Hofkapelle (1836). He never went on tours and rarely 
gave concerts, yet he was a finished virtuoso, admired even by Niccolò 
Paganini. In Vienna he was very successful as a teacher. He was awarded 
the Salvator medal (1811), the freedom of Vienna (1817) and the Order of
 Franz Joseph (1862), and was an honorary member of several musical 
academies. As a composer, his works include 3 violin concertos, a Mass 
(1848), 5 string quintets, 8 string quartets, trios, and solo violin 
pieces. Most of these are conservative in style and were intended 
primarily for his own performance.
