French guitarist and composer. He has sometimes been erroneously named
as Charles Doisy or even as Doisy Lintant. His youth years are unknown.
From 1797, he devoted himself to the guitar as a performer, teacher,
composer and publisher. For many years he enjoyed an enviable reputation
as a professor of the guitar in Paris, and during his later years he
established a music and musical instrument business in this city, being
thus occupied at the time of his death. He had the advantage of a
thorough musical training and education in harmony and composition, as
his published works prove, and he wrote for the guitar in its capacity
as a solo instrument, for accompaniment, and in combination with almost
every other instrument. His published compositions number more than two
hundred, and during the early part of his career, the guitar was strung
with but five strings tuned as at present, but without the sixth or
lowest E, and Doisy's early compositions are therefore more limited in
scope and compass. His output include several concertos for the guitar
with accompaniment of string quartet, serenades for guitar, violin and
alto, grand duos for guitar and violoncello, guitar and piano, guitar
and oboe, and the guitar in duos with the horn, bassoon, viola, flute
and another guitar. There are also published under his name many
collections of pieces for guitar solo, including Les folies d'Espagne
being fifty variations and many collections for violin and guitar, and
flute and guitar. He was the author of several methods for the guitar,
among them, 'Principaux généraux et raisonnés de la guitare' (1801) and
'Éléments de musique en forme de dialogue' (1804).
