I was a pretty big fan of his stuff when I first heard it, but after a while, I became less interested - stylistically, his stuff reminds me a lot of Rossini, though with a more virtuostic twist. Ironically, his more lyrical pieces impress me more than his virtuostic ones (ie, the second movement of his first violin concerto, some of his violin sonatas, etc.) nowadays. I haven't heard the Moses variations though, so I'll give it a shot on Rhapsody if I can find it
