Jean-Pierre Guignon (actually Giovanni Pietro Ghignone; 1702, Turin - 1774, Versailles) was a violinist and composer of Italian origin (French citizen since 1741). Because of violin lessons for students from noble families, he received lifelong pensions, which enabled him to live comfortably. He gave free lessons to promising young violinists. Guignon was one of the brilliant violin virtuosos of his time; especially the ease and security of his game was praised. His compositions significantly influenced the French chamber music of the time.
I'm 34 next month & I agree with you, J. S. Bach & Rameau have composed some beautiful movements that are slow, I absolutely LOVE Rameau's 2 arias: Tristé Apres Pale Flamboux & Cruèl Mère Des Amore.
@@morphixnm İve been listening to classical music for 30 years, and most slow movements still bore me to tears. One adagio İ *never* skip though is the one from Ravel's Piano Concerto. Right in the feels every time.
I love how he uses bariolage + climax around minute 5. It is simply sublime to hear how the sound climbs into the supreme height. It is not in vain Forqueray pointedly portraited him in La Guignon with a leaping, imaginative scale: ruclips.net/video/c3HUo41R47k/видео.html
Thank you very much! 💌

Something precious to make Sunday more pleasant. Thanks!
Is that picture De Mondonville’s wife?
Normally I skip the boring slow opening movements but this one's pretty good from start to end
Me too.
I don't know how old you are, but slow movements become more beautiful with age.

@@bag3lmonst3r72 Well we are all different and the good news or you is that there are in total more fast movements than slow ones:)

Don't get me wrong but I think 18th century music went a little aimless compared to 17th century
