    "Baudron, Antoine Laurent (b Amiens, 15 May 1742; d Paris, 1834). French composer and violinist. After attending the Jesuit college in Amiens, he studied violin in Paris with Pierre Gaviniés. He joined the orchestra of the Comédie-Française in 1763 and became its leader and conductor in 1766; in this position he was responsible for the composition (or arrangement) of stage music for both old and new plays. He collaborated with Beaumarchais from 1770 and probably wrote the famous air ‘Je suis Lindor’(from Le barbier de Séville) which Mozart later used as the theme of his 12 Variations k354/299a. At the request of the actor Larive, he composed new music for Rousseau’s Pygmalion (1780), the Divertissement in Le roi de Cocagne (1781) and the airs in Le mariage de Figaro (1784), with the exception of the final vaudeville, which is Tissier’s tune for La fauvette. He composed little after the Revolution but was greatly revered at the Comédie-Française and retired in 1822 on a pension equal to his full salary."
