Sechter, and in 1835 returned to Paris, where he perfected as a composer. 17 Feb 1820 Reich

a violinist, gifted with a also the happiest data to compose music and to identify which only need
time and the necessary support and that in the future he will honor his country". By this time, the
first major Vietan’s works: Concerto fis-moll, published as No. 2 E-dur, known as the First
Concerto and fantasy, in particular Fantasy-Caprice and "memories of Russia". Some works
