A noted German composer, violinist, and conductor, [Spohr's] "violin method, completed in 1831, documents his importance as a teacher. Numerous violinists from all over the world came to him for instruction, the most famous being Hubert Ries, Ferdinand David and Spohr's grandson August Wilhelmj." The New Grove Vol. 18, p. 11.
It became "one of the most respected and widely used violin methods of the century. ...
Regarded by many contemporaries as worthy of a place beside Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven in the pantheon of the greatest composers, [Spohr] has, together with Gluck and Cherubini, been allotted a considerably lower status by posterity. Mozart's Figaro and Wagner's Tristan were both composed during Spohr's lifetime; his own work looks, Janus-like, towards both the formalism and clarity of the Classical tradition, and the structural and harmonic experimentation associated with 19th-century Romanticism."
