This ritratto of me by the artist, Jean-Etienne Liotard
; was made when I was about 23 years old. At that time I was very ambitious and excited to become a great and well-known composer and violoncellista. However, it was a period of shifting employment and bitter, distant travel to reach these jobs, and I suffered greatly from home-sickness. I had yet to find that
grande opportunità in my life, but my determination in this period is what aided me in reaching that point.
