French composer. Born into a family of woodwind instrument makers,
instrumentalists and composers, he was son of Martin Hotteterre
(c.1635-1712). He served in the hautbois et musettes de Poitou. On his
father's death in 1712 he succeeded to the business, continuing the
workshop on the rue de Harlay until his death. His only extant
collection of 'Pièces pour la muzette qui peuvent aussi se jouer sur la
flûte, sur le haubois etc... oeuvre posthume' was published by his
brother Jacques Hotteterre (1673-1763) in 1722. During the 17th century
various members of the family moved to Paris, where they gained fame as
instrument makers and players, serving royal music-making. They are
credited with developing early prototypes of the Baroque oboe, bassoon,
musette and flute. Their talents in instrument making, playing,
composition and pedagogy converged to form the foundation of the French
school of woodwind playing.
