| Added by kaminsky, 16 Feb 2013 Louis Spohr, sometimes described as “The Forgotten Master", was a German composer, violinist and conductor. Spohr was once as famous as Beethoven. As a violinist, his virtuoso playing was admired by Queen Victoria. As a composer he ranks as a historic figure in the development of German music drama whose greatest triumph was in the oratorio. His orchestral writings and chamber works were once considered on par with Mozart’s. He invented the chin rest for the violin and the batton for conducting (or was one of the first to use it). The Salon Duetts (drawing room pieces) composed 1846, are largely forgotton, the first of which coming from a volume that may be found only in the furthest corner of an old archive, yet being exceedingly pleasant and with its rythmic tango-like accompaniment quite appealing, but not easy to play, especially in the middle part of this composition.
