He became known for his brilliant technique, powerful playing and highly individual musical personality, earning considerable admiration from his contemporaries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis compositions include operas, concertos, sacred and vocal music, but he is particularly remembered for his collections of violin sonatas.
