In 1757 Ancelet observed: It is certain that the violin is the most beautiful & and most perfect of instruments, owing to the quality of its sound, its clarity and its technical potential, which embraces all genres and characters of Music... The violin becomes increasingly à la mode, and thus gentlemen of taste are encouraged to play it. Le Clair, who travelled to Italy and other foreign countries, came back to France to instruct and teach: it is to this gifted musician that French Violinists have the greatest obligation. He showed them how to vanquish technical difficulties and has crowned this achievement by composing knowledgeable and correct Works for his instrument, which serve as a model and thereby instruct those who have the talent to compose themselves.
