French composer. Son of Martin Hotteterre (c.1635-1712), he was the most
celebrated member of the family, and had a brilliant career as a
player, teacher and composer. In about 1704, he succeeded his cousin
Jacques Hotteterre in the post of basse de hautbois et taille de violon
at the royal court. Hotteterre lived and studied in Rome early in his
career, and his nickname le Romain (the Roman) came from this period. He
spent two years (1698-1700) employed by Prince Francesco Ruspoli in
Rome, before adopting the nickname of "Le Romain" at some point between
1705 and 1707. By 1708, he became a musician to the King of France, in
the king's 'Grande Écurie, and in 1717, he inherited René Pignon
Descoteaux's post as Jouëur de Fluste de la musique de chambre. He owed
his fame largely to his talent for playing the flute, an instrument for
which he wrote a number of pieces, significantly extending the repertory
for the instrument. In addition, he played the bassoon, oboe, and
musette. Hotteterre was also an internationally celebrated teacher to
aristocratic patrons. He wrote one method for the transverse flute,
recorder, and oboe, published in 1707, as well as a method for the
musette, published in 1737. His 'L'Art de préluder sur la flûte
traversière' was published in 1719. It was Europe's first flute manual
and was used widely. He died in Paris in 1763.
