Hyacinthe Jadin (1785-1800) was born into a family of musicians, many of whom were composers: François, Jean, Louis Emmanuel, commonly known as Louis. A pupil of his father François, Hyacinthe then took lessons from Nicolas Hüllmandel, an Alsatian pianist and composer who was said to have studied in Hamburg under Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, son of Johann Sebastian. Precocious, Hyacinthe began composing at the age of nine. Ten years before him, the great composer Hélène de Montgeroult had been taught by the same teacher, who declared after a year, as she was only thirteen, that he had nothing more to teach her. So these are two “prodigies of their age” that emerge a few years after Mozart, and a few years before Mendelssohn, Liszt and Chopin.
Hyacinthe played one of his piano concertos at the Concert spirituel in 1789, at the age of thirteen. It is already a consecration, so great is the reputation of this institution in France and in Europe.
