Charles Bériot was a Belgian violinist and the first solo violinist of King Charles X of France, and of King William I of the Netherlands. In 1843, he became a teacher at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels. His pupils included Henri Vieuxtemps. His main role model was Niccolo Paganini, whose influence can be heard in Bériot’s compositions (10 violin concertos in total).
