Submit information about the music of Jean Pierre Guignon

Life

The Italian composer Jean-Pierre Guignon (Giovanni Pietro Ghignone) was among the most brilliant virtuosos of his era. rom 1725 he often appeared in Paris. He served at the French court from 1733 till 1762. When he was appointed as “Roy des violons” in 1741, this led to controversy. His compositions, mostly for violin, include sonatas and duos.
