Jean-Baptiste Forqueray
Born: 3rd April 1699, Paris, France
Died: 15th August 1782, Paris, France
Nationality: French
Jean-Baptiste Forqueray the son of Antoine Forqueray, was a player of the viol and a composer.
Forqueray was born in Paris. He is most famous today for his 1747 publication of twenty-nine pieces for viol and continuo which he attributed to his father (except for three, for which he himself took credit). In the avertissement he states that he was responsible for the bass line (thus the figures as well) and the viol fingerings. Stylistically, they are very much influenced by Italian music and belong to the generation of Jean-Marie Leclair (1697–1764) and Jean-Pierre Guignon (1702–1774).
