Jacques Pierre Joseph Rode on February 16, 1774 – died November 25, 1830, was a violinist and composer.Born in Bordeaux, France, Pierre Rode travelled to Paris at the age of 13 and soon became a favourite pupil of the great Giovanni Battista Viotti who found the boy so talented that he charged him no fee for the lessons. Rode inherited his teacher's style to which he added more mildness and a more refined tone. It is also recorded that he made extensive use of portamento. He collaborated with Baillot and Kreutzer on the official Violin Method of the Conservatoire of Paris, published in 1802.
Rode served as violin soloist to Napoleon I of France and toured extensively in the Netherlands, Germany, England and Spain, staying with François-Adrien Boieldieu in St. Petersburg for 1804-1809, and later spending much time in Moscow. Ludwig van Beethoven wrote his last violin sonata (opus 96) for Rode when the violinist was visiting ViennaThis article is about the city and federal state in Austria. For other places or things called Vienna, see Vienna (disambiguation). Vienna ( German: Wien [viːn]) is the capital of Austria, and also one of Austria's nine federal states Bundesland Wi. He also performed chamber music, but the backbone of his repertoire was formed by Viotti's concertos which served as models for his own concertos, 13 in number. These, as well as the 24 Caprices, were written during 1814-1819 when he lived in BerlinBerlin [ bɛrˈliːn ] is the national capital of Germany and its largest city, with 3,387,404 inhabitants (as of September 2004); down from 4. 5 million before World War II. Berlin is located on the rivers Spree and Havel in the northea.
In all, Pierre Rode composed 13 violin concertos and many other works for violin. Although Rode's violin concertos have some significance in the development of the Romantic concerto, they are nowadays rarely performed, and his major contribution to music must be seen in his influence to younger violinists, such as Louis SpohrLouis Spohr ( April 5, 1784 October 22, 1859) was a German composer, violinist and conductor. Born Ludwig Spohr he is usually known by the French form of his name outside Germany. Life Spohr was born in Brunswick-Luneburg and showed talent for the violin, who adopted his style and developed it further.
