Unlike all today’s Earth population, Jean-Baptiste Davaux knew about the Bastille being assaulted firsthand rather than century later. Revolutionary-minded violinist, he spent 28 years composing his 13 symphonies concertantes (1772-1800) and was perhaps very happy when the riot eventually led to a prison wreck just a year before his baker’s dozen of symphonies was completed. All in all, Davaux’s heritage is quite rangy: after constructing a device forerunning modern metronome he proved himself not only as a composer but inventor, as well. Still, music was on the first place for him and, I guess, for us, too.
Davaux's score is available here: Quatuor concertant No.2
