Etienne Denis Delair
Etienne Denis Delair , also Etienne Denis de Lair (* around 1662 , † 1750 in Paris ) was a French theorist and music theorist of the 18th century.
Delair wrote the treatise Traité d'accompagnement pour le théorbe et le clavessin (Paris 1690, new edition 1723). According to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, this treatise is the first to contain the Regola dell'ottava (rule of the octave), the invention of which is generally attributed to François Campion (1686–1748). Almost nothing is known about Delair's biography. According to the two editions of his treatise, only two addresses in Paris are ascribed to him: Rue St Honoré and Rue des Poulies . The title of the treatise states that it “contains all the rules necessary to accompany the two instruments, with specific comments on the various approaches that they require. He also shows how to accompany unconfigured basses. "
