Bellissimo(!) Rigel learned the craft of music of different classicisms (!) He studied in Stuttgart with Niccolò Jommelli and François-Xavier Richter in Mannheim. This Symphony - a number of typical elements of the German "Sturm und Drang", minor keys, unisson passages for the whole orchestra and chromatic writing. Late-18th Century genre, true to French fashion in that they are all couched in the three-movement architecture derived from the Italian Overture, without the typical Viennese Menuetto. But he composed with great skill: French oratorios; He also wrote comic operas in the German singspiel type; He was one of the first composers to create works for piano accompanied by an orchestra; In some of them he introduced effects in the piano part that imitated the sound of the orchestra, including: repetitive chords in both hands at the beginning and end of the movement.
