François (Frederic) Devienne
(Joinville, 31 January 1759 - Paris, 5 September 1803)

French flautist, bassoonist, composer and teacher. He was the seventh of eight children born to Pierre Devienne and his second wife Marie Petit. Following early musical education as a choirboy, he was sent to Paris to study flute with Félix Rault. In 1780 he joined the orchestra of the Prince de Rohan, making his debut at the Concerts spirituels in 1782. From then until 1785 he performed there as a soloist at least 18 times, but after 3 April 1785 he did not appear there for four years. From 1785 to 1789 his place of employment is uncertain; he may have been a member of the Swiss Guards Band in Versailles. Devienne probably returned to Paris in autumn or winter 1788. Thereafter he played flute and bassoon at the Opéra until the Revolution, when he joined the military band of the French Guards. In 1795 he was appointed as an inspector and professor of flute at the new Conservatoire following the publication two years earlier of his treatise 'Méthode de flûte théoretique et pratique'. In May 1803 he entered Charenton, a Parisian home for the mentally ill, where he died the following September after a long illness which ended by impairing his reason. He was an extraordinarily prolific composer of peculiar importance from the impulse that he gave to perfecting the technique of wind instruments. He wrote 12 operas, seven sinfonia concertantes, 14 flute and five bassoon concertos, 25 quintets and quartets, 46 trios, 147 duos, and 67 sonatas, as well as a symphony and two Revolutionary hymns. As a teacher, Joseph Guillou was one of his most famous pupils. François Devienne was regarded in his lifetime as a flute virtuoso, and his works were frequently reprinted abroad.
