 | | With the reigns of Frederick Augustus I, Stanislas I, and Frederick Augustus II (from 1697 to 1763) came a change for the better, and rapid strides in the development of music were unquestionably due to the introduction of masterful works by such composers as Torelli, Balbi, Cambert, and Lulli. |
 | | Another court musician to Stanislas Augustus was FELIX JANIEWICZ,[38] a pupil of Viotti, who went about 1770 to Paris, afterward concretized throughout Italy, and finally settled in 1786 in London, where he became conductor of the Italian opera. |
 | | Radziwill was a great friend and admirer of Chopin as well as of Goethe; he was an exceptionally fine violoncellist, and he also composed songs, piano pieces, and some orchestral works, the best of which is the music to Goethe's Faust, published in 1835, two years after his death. |
