After studying with Nardini and Guastarobba - a pupil of Tartini - Campagnoli performed in various orchestras and toured throughout Europe. In 1797, he was appointed leader of the Gewandhaus orchestra in Leipzig and it was there that he produced his most enduring work, his Nouvelle méthode, op.21. "Although the treatment of tuning, as well as a few other matters, is forward-looking, some aspects – for example the holding of the bow – are distinctly old-fashioned. However, its systematic organization and the well graded exercises led to a deserved popularity." (Grove Online)
