Charles-Nicolas Baudiot

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles-Nicolas Baudiot (born March 29, 1773 in Nancy , † September 26, 1849 in Paris ) was a French cellist and composer .

Life

Nicolas Baudiot studied the cello with Jean-Baptiste Janson , whose successor he was in 1802 at the Paris Conservatory. Together with the cellist Jean-Henri Levasseur , Charles-Simon Catel and the violinist Pierre Baillot , he wrote the Méthode de violoncelle du Conservatoire , which appeared in 1805. Baudiot was the first cellist at the Paris Opera and in 1816 came to the same position in the royal chapel of Louis XVIII. In 1818 Baudiot was accepted into the Société Academique des Enfants d'Apollon . In 1822 he asked for his pension and was then able to go on extensive concert tours. Baudiot played an Antonio Stradivari cello from 1725.

The Allgemeine Musikische Zeitung wrote about his playing in April 1820 that he lacked warmth. François-Joseph Fétis shared this view, but emphasized the clean, if somewhat weak tone, the precise intonation and his bow stroke. Nicolas Baudiot's particular merit is his educational work, through which he has remained known to posterity. For this he received the highest appreciation from the director of the conservatory at the time, Luigi Cherubini .
