Frédéric Nicolas Duvernoy
[ Life | Works | Photo Gallery | Home Page] |
 |
An important figure in the establishment of a French school of French horn playing, Duvernoy occupied a leading position as a performer in his own time. He was employed as a principal player at the Opéra House in Paris. He was much admired by Napoleon and his immediate successors, retaining official favour until 1830. 
|
Duvernoy's compositions are chiefly for his own instrument and include concertos and chamber music, in addition to an important Méthode pour le cor (Method for the Horn). He also wrote studies for piano and for other instruments.
