Piano Sonata in E Flat Major

I composed this Sonata for the piano. It was written to be performed with a flute and/or violin accompaniment. It has three movements 1) Allegro Maestose 2) Adagio and 3) Rondo:Allegretto.
I composed this piece in 1799 to honor the beautiful Josephine Bonaparte. I wrote this Sonata after husband Napoleon narrowly escaped a bomb attack on his way to Paris. I thought this would make her smile in a difficult time.

Romeo and Juliet Score

My best accomplishments were master operas. My prospective opera Romeo and Juliet was seen by Hector Berlioz in Paris. Later it was produced in the Theatre Feydeau. In 1817,  I reexamined Romeo and Juliet again. This Opera was performed 30 year after it opened, in New Orleans, Moscow. I would say this Opera was my most ingenious and creative composition of all.

Concerto No. 8

I composed this Concerto in 1798, though it wasn't premiered until March 16, 1820. I actually had stopped performing years earlier in 1814, but came back to conduct Concerto No. 8. This piece was recognized for the big choral finale. It was one of the first piano Concertos ever written with a part for the choir.

Portrait of Me

This is a portrait of me as a young musician. It is an etching by Edme Quenedey. He was a french painter and engraver who was known for doing miniatures. When the physionotrace was invented he began to use that to create portraits. He did portraits of other musicians like me including composer Pierre Gaveux.
