    Objet Neal ZASLAW : 'Chéron, André', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 23 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
    "Chéron, André (b Paris, bap. 6 Feb 1695; d Paris, bur. 7 Oct 1766). French organist, harpsichordist, conductor and composer. Born into a family of musicians and instrument makers, he studied from 1702 under Nicolas Bernier as a choirboy at the Ste Chapelle, where in 1713 he assumed the duties of auxiliary organist. Around 1729 he was in the entourage of the wealthy patron of the arts, Bonnier de la Mosson, to whom his opp.1 and 2 were dedicated.
    Chéron joined the Paris Opéra in 1734 as harpsichordist, and five years later was promoted to batteur de mesure, replacing Rebel. To his conducting duties were added in 1750 those of maître de chant of the Opéra, culminating in the position of inspecteur de l’Opéra. […]
    Chéron also appeared frequently playing the harpsichord or organ continuo at the Concert Spirituel and at court."
