---


French composer, teacher and keyboardist. Son of Léontzi Honauer (1686-1775), a musician at the Strasbourg cathedral, and Anne-Marie Zimmermann, he was trained by his father and brother François Xavier Léontzi Honauer (1731-1788). By 1761 he was a member of the court of Prince Louis de Rohan in Paris, in whose service he attained a considerable reputation as a teacher. His pupils included Peter von Hagen II. In 1771 he visited Vienna, returning to Paris after three years. By 1788 he had returned to Strasbourg with a pension, which was paid until 1790, the presumed year of his death. As a teacher, he was noted for his skill and ability to impart knowledge to his students. His three books of keyboard sonatas, published between 1761 and 1764, demonstrate a penchant for lyrical style and thematic contrast. Apart from the 18 sonatas in these books, he also published a set of four keyboard quartets and other smaller keyboard works; a pair of suites remain in manuscript.
