[extrait de:] Roger COTTE : 'Torlez, Balthazard', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 8 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Torlez [Torlès], Balthazard
(fl 1742–88). French composer. Music attributed to Torlez may be the work of two different composers. In 1742 he was in Clermont-Ferrand, and produced a divertissement, Le départ du guerrier amant. In 1767 motets by a composer of the same name were performed at the Concert Spirituel in Paris and published there; the Parisian Affiches, annonces et avis divers of 19 April 1769 carried an odd notice by Torlez inviting the commission of various masses, divertissements, cantatilles etc., ‘for a reasonable sum’. By about 1775 he had become maître de chapelle at Tours Cathedral, and in addition taught at the academies of Grenoble and Moulins. The violinist who played in the orchestra of the Comédie Italienne in Paris (1783–9) and published a number of instrumental works appears to be a different Torlez as the set of duos designated op.1 bear the first initial ‘C’."
