Roger COTTE : 'Jean-Baptiste Rey (II)', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 24 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Jean-Baptiste Rey (II)
(b Tarascon, c1760; d Paris, c1822). Theorist and instrumentalist, possibly a son of (2) Louis-Charles-Joseph Rey. According to Fétis he was self-taught; he was active as a cellist, violinist, harpsichordist, organist and composer, but is best known as a theorist who followed Rameau’s ideas, adapting them to 19th-century musical idioms. He was the organist and maître de chapelle at the cathedrals of Viviers and Auch before going in 1795 to Paris, where he was a cellist in the Opéra orchestra from 1796 to 1822. His most important works comprise theoretical studies, a piano method and some piano music."
