    "Papavoine [first name unknown] (b ?Normandy, c1720; d Marseilles, 1793). French composer. His first names may have been Louis-Auguste. He is first mentioned early in 1752 as a violinist of the Académie de Musique, Rouen, though he apparently lived in Paris. About 1754 he married Mlle Pellecier, a musician and composer. From 1760 to 1762 he was chief of the second violins in the orchestra of the Comédie-Italienne, for which he composed the comédie mêlée d’ariettes Barbacole and the opéra comique Le vieux coquet. About 1767 he joined N.-M. Audinot in forming the Théâtre de l’Ambigu-Comique, devoted primarily to marionette and pantomime productions with music. He was attached to that theatre as late as 1789. In the Almanach des spectacles for 1790 he is listed among the living composers, and according to Gerber he was in that year orchestra director and first violinist at the Marseilles Opera.
    Most of Papavoine’s compositions are lost; they included music for many plays and pantomimes performed at the Ambigu-Comique, symphonies and chamber works."
