F.W. Rust was the patriarch of a prominent family of German musicians. He was a renowned violinist and capable pianist. Indicative of his virtuosity on the violin are his compositions for that instrument requiring great technical articulation. Rust studied violin and keyboard with <a href="spotify:artist:2kRihVWPDRdvyULgHkPMEc">Muller</a>, violin with <a href="spotify:artist:26ZyKPKcpyFEN0lZTpSqrn">Benda</a> and composition with <a href="spotify:artist:3meioy7GWDwpwmjv2LPyAb">C.P.E. Bach</a> in Potsdam. In service to Leopold III and the Dessau court, Rust attempted to make Dessau a prominent musical center. He was appointed the court director of music in 1775. Rust's most noted composition for the violin was the D minor solo sonata. ~ Keith Johnson, Rovi
