Paris, however, with its various concert societies and large orchestras had become an important venue for such artists and especially for musicians who belonged to the new style. Haydn's symphonies and concertos by virtuosi such as Lebrun also enjoyed considerable success there; what is more, it was in Paris that the works performed here first appeared in print.
