David CHARLTON / Hervé AUDÉON : 'Grasset, Jean-Jacques', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 24 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Grasset, Jean-Jacques
(b Paris, c1769; d Paris, 25 Aug 1839). French violinist, conductor and composer. He was a pupil of Isidore Bertheaume, with whom he played on 13 April 1786 at the Concert Spirituel in a sinfonia concertante for two violins of Bertheaume’s composition. By 1787 he was playing second violin in the Concert Spirituel orchestra […] He evidently gained experience in other ensembles and was listed as chef d’orchestre of the Théâtre du Marais in 1792 and 1793. […] In 1795 he performed at the Feydeau concerts in Paris, and in November 1797 founded a short-lived concert society with Baillot, Lamarre, Plantade and Frédéric. In January 1798 he began to lead and conduct the orchestra of the new Société des Artistes; its concerts at the Théâtre Louvois were well received […]. He entered the Opéra orchestra in about 1799 and was professor at the Paris Conservatoire from 1800 to 1816.
In 1804 Grasset was appointed conductor of the Théâtre Italien (or Opera Buffa); he held this position until 1830."
