French teacher, organist and composer. Son of luthier Jean Feyzeau and
Anne Timbaudy, his young life is unknwon. When he published his opus 1
-Pièces de clavecin en sonates (1764)- he presents himself as a disciple
of Franz Ignaz Beck (1734-1809). October 20, 1771 he married
Marie-Françoise Bordes and a half year later, he was appointed organist
of the Saint-André cathedral with a salary of 600 pounds per year. In
1775 he composed his first comic opera, entitled "Lucette". In 1779 with
Jacques Matoulet and a certain Magnouac, he founded the "Société des
amateurs de musique de Bordeaux". From 1779 to 1785, he worked as a
teacher, mainly organ, fortepiano, harpsichord and sometimes timpani. In
1782 he published his second comic opera, entitled "Suzette ou le
préjugé vaincu". In 1786 he joined the masonic lodge of "L'amitié".
After 1790, his life is unkown but he probably worked as a teacher until
his death in 1806.
