In 1835 he went to Paris, where he first had contact
with Frédéric Chopin, who introduced him to the
Parisian musical society. Later there was an alienation
between Chopin and him. Nevertheless, he dedicated two
of his more than 300 piano pieces to Chopin: the Grand
Allegro de Concert and Rêverie-Nocturne (Homage to
Chopin). He also composed forty duos for piano and
violin as well as a piano concerto.
