---
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.
