French clarinettist, composer and teacher. He learn the basis of the clarinet in Strasbourg with the music master of a military garrison. He was part of a military music corps for a while and then moved to Paris in 1790. Like his brother Frédéric Duvernoy, he was member of the National Guard orchestra until 1795. Then he was first clarinet at the Théâtre de Monsieur, at the Saint-Germain fair and at the Théâtre Feydeau, a position he held until 1824. At the same time, he was professor at the Conservatory of Music and Declamation in Paris (1800-1802 and 1808-1816). In the Biographie Nouvelle des Contemporaries published in 1822 we can read: "M. Charles Duvernoy is no less distinguished on the clarinet than his brother on the horn, and we admire his brilliant manner in the execution of the solos." He was the father of composer Henri Duvernoy, the singer Charles-François Duvernoy and the hornist Antoine François Frédéric Duvernoy.
