His performance style, which combined virtuoso precision with a rich tone color, gained him widespread acclaim, and he became one of the great masters of the early 19th century, boasting brilliant performance techniques. As a composer, he left behind pioneering works, and in particular made a major contribution to the development of the concerto.
