    Objet Michael A. KELLER: 'Antoine Dauvergne', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 4 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
    "Dauvergne [D’Auvergne], Antoine (b Moulins, 3 Oct 1713; d Lyons, Feb 1797). French composer. He began his career as a violinist in Moulins and Clermont-Ferrand before moving to Paris in the late 1730s. According to Pierre de Bernis, he studied composition with Rameau. In 1739 he became a violinist in the chambre du roi. He joined the Opéra orchestra in 1744 and by 1752 had assumed some of the conducting responsibilities. His first stage work, Les amours de Tempé, a ballet in four acts, was presented at the Opéra in 1752; […] His greatest success and most important opera, Les troqueurs, followed in 1753, and established a theatrical career which was to last over 20 years.
    In 1755 Dauvergne was appointed composer and master to the chambre du roi. After seven years as a co-director of the Concert Spirituel, an appointment he held for 11 years, he became a director of the Opéra in 1769. While there he was closely involved in the negotiations with Gluck (1772–4). Dauvergne was against bringing Gluck and his operas to Paris […]
    Dauvergne’s 1773 arrangement of Destouches’Callirhoé was poorly received, and this was his last dramatic setting. Nevertheless, he was named composer to the Opéra in March 1776, and the following month resigned as director. In 1780 he became a director again, but shortly thereafter numerous musicians complained in writing of his perpetual nagging and inept management; he resigned in 1782, but in 1785 became director for the third time. Another series of letters, critical of his age, taste and management, made this term as unpleasant as the last. Disillusioned, and in financial and other difficulties, he retired in 1790."
