Jean-François Dandrieu
Jean -François Dandrieu, Jean -François d' Andrieu (* around 1682 in Paris, † January 17, 1738 ) was a French organist and composer.
At the age of eighteen, he was appointed organist at Saint- Merry. In 1721 he became the organist at the Chapel Royal. Finally, in 1733, he followed his uncle, Pierre d' Andrieu ( 1660-1733 ) in the same function at St. Barthelémy.
He was one of those French composers of his time, which made an attempt to break out of the strict forms of force in their home musical conventions. To this end, they brought an element of Italian style, which was far less strictly applied. Dandrieu created works of all genres, including violin sonatas, pieces for harpsichord and organ as well as many airs.
