Michel Corrette

The compositions from Michell Corrette are influenced by the Rococo style. He earned his living as organist. In 1758 Michel became organist at the Grand Collège of the Jesuit Collège in Paris, until his expulsion in 1762. In 1780 he was appointed organist of the Duke of Angoulême. Very well he earned money by the numerous by him written school works for all usual instruments of his time. Remarkable is his mandolin school (Lyon 1772). Therein are reproduced Duos for 2 mandolins and the three-movement Sonata for mandolin and figured bass (Pan KM 2063).
