He was a great traveler and attended many musical meetings to play with the masters of European music: Bach, Scarlatti, Handel, Buffardin, Hasse, Quantz and Corelli.

His many writings and poems show us his magical vitality as a composer. Known throughout Europe, envied by musicians, he has composed over 600 pieces for lute, without counting the many works lost or "destroyed" and according to the legend, those works "not to be copied and kept secret".

Surrounded by a fantastic troupe of musicians at the court of Dresden, his meeting and friendship with JS Bach and participation with the Collegium Musicum, his various sojourns in Italy, his knowledge of the music of his time made him an accomplished composer. The influences of Italian opera, concertos, sonatas for violin, knowledge of French music on the lute, the operas of Lully culminated in him being the musical worthy of the great Bach. The meeting of French taste and rhythms, Italian Cantabiles and dazzling German form with its highly developed phrasing is obvious when you listen, play or analyze his work.
