"Bornet l’aîné [first name unknown]
(fl 1762–90). French violinist and composer. He played the violin at the Paris Opéra from 1762 to 1790. His Journal de violon, consisting mostly of airs arranged for violin and various other instruments, was published from 1784 to 1788. He was best known for his Méthode de violon (1786), which the Mercure de France (7 Oct 1786) praised for its remarkable order and clarity; the method dœs, in fact, give precise instructions for achieving a good tone. Bornet’s compositions include pieces for one or two violins with basso continuo (primarily arrangements of operatic airs), the ballet Daphnis et Florise, performed in Paris in 1765, and ariettes for the comédie, Le laboreur devenu gentilhomme (1771), which was never performed."
