"Joseph-Antoine Piffet
(b ?c1710; d late 18th century). Violinist and composer, son of Pierre Piffet. A teacher whose pupils included La Houssaye, he joined the Opéra orchestra in 1739, where he remained until 1751. It is reported that he had been a member of the Musique de la Chambre du Roi from 1734. He was possibly a member of the Concert Spirituel orchestra from 1751 and was probably the Piffet who frequently performed solos there from 1756 to 1761, often his own violin concertos. His last documented performance was in 1761. It is also likely that he was the Piffet le cadet who published a collection of six violin sonatas with continuo and another of violin duos in about 1750.
Other musicians named Piffet, whose relation (if any) to this family remains uncertain, include Antoine-Joseph Piffet (possibly identical with Joseph-Antoine Piffet), who joined the 24 Violons on 5 February 1734 […]"
