Peggy DAUB: 'Mangean, Etienne', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 9 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Mangean, Etienne
(b c1710; d Paris, ?c1756). French violinist and composer. The first extant reference to him is in a privilege granted in December 1734 for the publication of instrumental pieces, in which he is simply identified as ‘maître de musique’. However, on the title-page of his Concert de simphonie of 1735 he is described as ‘ordinaire de l’Académie de musique de Dijon’. By 1738 he was established in Paris: he is listed in the Mercure de France among violinists who ‘shine with renown’. He later lived in Paris, as shown by his solo appearances at the Concert Spirituel in 1742, 1743 and 1749 and his membership in several orchestras: the Concert Spirituel (at least 1750–55), the theatre orchestras at the fairs of St Laurent and St Germain (from about 1744) and the Opéra-Comique in 1753. It may be that Mangean had the patronage of Armand-Louis, Duke of Aiguillon, for several of his manuscripts are now in that family’s archives in Agen. Titon du Tillet reported that Mangean frequented the salon of Demoiselles Duhallay. Although a privilege issued to Le Clerc in 1765 still mentioned works by Mangean, there are no references to the latter’s activities after 1756."
