Jacques Pierre (Joseph) Rode
(Bordeaux, 16 February 1774 - Château de Bourbon, nr Damazon, 25 November 1830)

French violinist and composer. He studied violin with Andre-Joseph Fauvel (1780-88), making his first public appearance at age 12 in Bordeaux. He then was taken to Paris by Fauvel and became a pupil of Giovanni Battista Viotti (1787). He made his first appearance there as soloist in Viotti's 13th Concerto (1790), and introduced Viotti's 17th and 18th concertos to the Parisian public (1792). He was also a violinist in the orchestra of the Theatre de Monsieur (1789-92). In 1795 he was appointed professor of violin at the Paris Conservatory, but immediately embarked on a tour of Holland and Germany; also appeared in London, but was exiled (along with Viotti) for political reasons in 1798. He returned to Paris in 1799 and resumed his duties at the Conservatory; also served as solo violin at the Opera. He became solo violinist to Napoleon in 1800, and brought out his extraordinarily successful 7th Violin Concerto. While on his way to Russia in 1803, he played throughout Germany; served as solo violinist to Czar Alexander I in St. Petersburg (1804-08). He scored an enormous success in Russia, but after his return to Paris his playing declined. In 1811-12 he toured Europe, and while in Vienna he performed Beethoven's Violin Sonata, op.96 (a score written expressly for him) with Archduke Rudolph (1812). He returned to France in 1819, but made only a few unsuccessful appearances in subsequent seasons; a disastrous appearance in Paris in 1828 caused him to abandon the concert stage. At the apex of his career, he was acclaimed as the foremost representative of the French violin school. He was also esteemed as a composer. In addition to 13 notable violin concertos, he composed 12 string quartets (so-called ‘quatuors brilliants’ with a dominant first violin part), 24 duos for 2 Violins, 24 caprices, airs varies, etc. With Pierre Baillot and Rodolphe Kreutzer, he wrote the violin method for the Conservatory (1803).
