Nicolas Chédeville

Nicolas (le cadet) Chédeville (born February 20, 1705 in Serez , today Département Eure , † August 6, 1782 in Paris ) was a French composer and oboist .

Live and act

Nicolas Chédeville was the youngest of three brothers who had mastered the musette de cour with virtuosity , a form of the bagpipe that was very popular in 18th century France . The other two brothers were Pierre Chédeville (1694-1725) and Esprit-Philippe Chédeville (1696-1762). On their mother's side, they were related to the family of the flautist Jacques-Martin Hotteterre (1674–1763), who introduced the three brothers to Paris.

Nicolas and Pierre Chédeville appeared as editors of various works, including Les Amusemens de Bellone from 1735, a collection of works for musette de cour , violin, flute and oboe.

In 1739 Nicolas Chédeville published six concertos from Antonio Vivaldi's op. 8 (including The Four Seasons ) in a version for oboe under the title Les Saisons Amusantes . In order to give the work the pastoral character that was popular in France at the time, he integrated the flute, musette and hurdy-gurdy into the accompanying parts.

As a document discovered in 1990 by his publisher Jean-Noël Marchand shows, Chédeville is also the composer of the six sonatas op. 13 ( Il pastor fido ) published in 1737 under the name Vivaldis . For this purpose, he sometimes used themes from various printed works published under Vivaldi's name.
