His Concerto could without exaggeration be compared to the life of a just man: no ambiguity, falsehood, excess [...] he is all dedicated to the genius of music which he breathes and which he emanates [...] He is always new, fresh, in a word—inspired.
Maurycy Mochnacki, Polish Courier, 24th March 1830
