Jacques Hotteterre, born in 1674 and passing in 1763, was an eminent French composer and flautist of the Baroque era. Hailed from a family of musicians and woodwind makers, Hotteterre played a significant role in the development of the transverse flute as a solo instrument, emerging as a master of the instrument during the reign of the Sun King, Louis XIV. His complete name often includes "le Romain" due to a sojourn in Italy, which greatly influenced his work.
Hotteterre’s contributions to music extend beyond performance to pedagogy and composition. His published works include "Premier Livre de Pieces pour la Flûte," a collection that marked a new era for flute music, showcasing expressive capabilities alongside technical mastery. He also composed suites and trio sonatas, finding distinction in his elegant and lyrical approach that echoed the refined tastes of his time. Notable amongst his publications is his "Méthode pour la Musette," offering insight into performance practices of the day. Hotteterre's oeuvre, particularly his chamber music, unfolds across a series of opuses, epitomizing the grace of French Baroque music and leaving an enduring impression on the world of flute and chamber repertoire.
