[Yes, this is another episode of "Died Too Young".]
Born in 1776 in Versailles, a lot of members of Hyacinthe Jadin's family were musicians: his father François, his uncles Georges and Jean, all his four brothers (like Louis-Emmanuel).
Enfant prodige, Hyacinthe wrote his first piece at 9 (a Rondo for Piano), when he was studying under Nicolas Joseph Hüllmandel.
After the French Revolution, Hüllmandel ran from France, leaving Hyacinthe alone; his former student, though, quickly found a lot of work in the "new world" after the Revolution.
Sadly, from 1795 he suffered from tuberculosis; Napoleon himself exonerated him from military service. Hyacinthe Jadin performed publicly the last time in 1799, and died the following year in poverty (he had a lot of salary to be payed yet by Paris Conservatory).
In is very short life, Hyacinthe Jadin managed to write three Piano Concertos, some works for stage or voices, and a more significant amount of chamber works. He is nowadays obscure, but his Piano pieces (especially his Piano Sonatas) are being gradually rediscovered, and their importance in the evolution from Classicism to Romanticism is now reconsidered.
On SPs score videos, you can discover Jadin's Op.1, his first published work: three String Quartets, in B flat major, A major and F minor.
