“...with the possible exception of Gossec, [Davaux] was the French symphonist most esteemed by his countrymen. His
fame was also extensive abroad; his works appeared in numerous (usually pirated) editions in the Netherlands,
England and Germany, and his quartets were heard in the USA as early as 27 April 1782... A composer of appealing
chamber music for strings, Davaux published six duos, six trios, at least 25 quartets and four quintets. The quartets
represent a significant contribution to the history of the genre, and featured prominently in the popular weekly
concerts held, for many years, at his house each winter." Barry S. Brook, Joel Kolk and Donald H. Foster in Grove
