already known to the parisian public, he played in france his compositions that he sent from rome. he produced a "deuxième messe solennelle" in 1835 dedicated to the duchess of orleans, an italian opera and the funeral "omaggio alla memoria di vincenzo bellini" (november 1835 - théâtre valle de rome) in homage to the famous opera composer who died shortly before. he presented an "ouverture" on october 20, 1838, badly received by a skeptical jury and against possible innovations: the three voices of men on the second motif in e minor probably left a bitter taste.
