Life
Jean-Balthasar Tricklir received violin and cello lessons as a student at the Dijon seminary. Between 1765 and 1768 he continued his education around the Mannheim court orchestra. He traveled to Italy several times, in 1776 he performed one of his works at the Concert spirituel . In the early 1780s he was chamber virtuoso with the Elector in Mainz and from March 1783 a member of the Dresden court orchestra . His playing was praised during his lifetime for his clear intonation and sensitive manner of presentation. Even after 1783 he went on several concert tours that took him to England and France. Dominique Bideau was one of his most important students . In the development of the playing technique, Tricklir represented a link between the cellists Anton Fils and Bernhard Romberg .
In Dresden, Tricklir made unsuccessful attempts with a mechanic to make tuning the stringed instruments easier when the weather changes. He wrote notes on this in his unpublished “ Le Microcosmos musical ”.
