Ivan Khandoshkin

Khandoshkin was regarded as the best possible Russian violinist living through the eighteenth hundred years. He analyzed under Tito Porta, was a musician in the courtroom of Russia, and trained violin in the Academy in St Petersburg. Khandoshkin was asked by Potyomkin to mind the music academy at Yekaterinoslav which Potyomkin was attempting to determine; it failed and Khandoshkin came back to St. Petersburg. He was a performer par superiority, playing until his loss of life. Nearly all his compositions had been supposedly modeled following the violin sonatas of Bach, and additional works were variants predicated on Russian folk melodies. He was a virtuoso performer.
