French composer and cellist. He studied cello with Jean-Baptiste Cupis
and in 1776 he became a member of the Société Académique des Enfants
d’Apollon. His debut was in 1778 at a Concert Spirituel performing one
of his own sonatas. He subsequently was a member of its orchestra
(1781-91), and then played in the orchestra of the Theatre Feydeau
(1791-1800). Afterwards he assumed the administration of the Concerts de
la rue de Cléry and became a member of the Paris Opéra orchestra, a
position from which he retired in 1814. His music was also performed by
various Paris concert societies. Bréval’s compositions, written between
1775 and 1805, consist mostly of instrumental music and reflect
contemporary Parisian musical taste: graceful melodies are propelled by
energetic rhythms and supported by an unobtrusive harmonic structure. He
composed a great quantity of instrumental music, including symphonies,
cello concertos, string quartets, trios, duos, and sonatas. He also
wrote an opera-comique, Ines et Leonore, ou La Soeur jalouse, performed
in Versailles on 14 November 1788. His brother Stanislas-Laurent Bréval
(1760-?), was a violinist in the service of the Count of Ogny and played
in the orchestras of the Paris Opéra and the Concert Spirituel.
