His chief merit is having published two good instruction books for the cello at a time when works of that kind were rare and much needed. He wrote also string quartets, sonatas and duets for cello, and a pamphlet entitled Histoire abrégée de la musique ancienne et moderne.

gollark: Lua doesn't pass by reference. Except for tables, functions and coroutines.
