“Beriot could play with the technical facility of Paganini and performed the violin with a sensibility few could equal. A student of Robberechts and Baillot, Beriot's abilities brought him a professorship at the Brussels Conservatoire (he had turned down an offer from the Paris Conservatory). He did succeed at composing 10 violin concertos, a number of airs, diverse shorter pieces -indicative of his elegance, and wrote duets for violin and piano in conjunction with such greats as Thalberg and Osborne.”
