    JULIAN RUSHTON: 'Framery, Nicolas Etienne', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 8 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
    "Framery, Nicolas Etienne (b Rouen, 25 March 1745; d Paris, 26 Nov 1810). French writer, theorist and composer. While still a student in Paris, he wrote a comedy, La nouvelle Eve (1763), to which the censor objected; he then revised it and, as Nanette et Lucas with ariettes by the Chevalier d’Herbain, it had some success at the Comédie-Italienne in 1764. In 1768 his La sorcière par hasard, an opéra comique to his own text, was privately performed; its favourable reception may have led to his appointment in the same year as superintendent of music to the Comte d’Artois. The work was later revived with some success at the Comédie-Italienne, and the score was published.
    Framery was not encouraged to pursue a career as a composer, however, and devoted himself to criticism, theoretical works and to writing and adapting librettos. From 1764 to 1768 he collaborated on Mathon de la Cour’s Journal de musique. From 1770 to 1771 he edited the Journal de musique historique, théorique, et pratique; his ‘Quelques réflexions sur la musique moderne’, which appeared there in 1770, showed an unusual interest in German music, particularly that of Haydn […] However, under the influence of the Encyclopedists, he espoused the cause of Italian music in France, opposing Gluck not as a piccinniste but as partisan of Sacchini. He adapted Sacchini’s L’isola d’amore for the French stage (La colonie, 1775) […] Framery adapted other Italian works for various theatres, and (according to Lajarte) assisted with the libretto of Sacchini’s first work for the Opéra, Renaud(1783).
    Framery reviewed performances at the Opéra, Théâtre Feydeau and Concert Spirituel for the Mercure de France […] He edited the Calendrier musical universel (1788–9) and translated pœms of Ariosto and Tasso, and Azopardi’s Il musico prattico. […]
    An early advocate of a conservatory for Paris, Framery was involved in the organization of the Conservatoire in 1795. In his last years he was correspondent of the Institut, working on the Dictionnaire des Beaux-arts edited by A.-L. Millin; he also established and controlled an agency for the protection of authors’rights."
