"Baptiste [Anet, Jean-Jacques-Baptiste]
(b Paris, 2 Jan 1676; d Lunéville, 14 Aug 1755). French violinist and composer. His father was Jean-Baptiste Anet. About 1695–6 he travelled to Rome and studied under Corelli […]. During 1699 and 1700 Baptiste travelled through Germany to Poland. On his return he entered the service of the Duke of Orléans, a position he abandoned after about a year to enter that of the Elector Maximilian Emanuel of Bavaria who, having lost his throne, was living in exile in France.
During the first three decades of the 18th century Baptiste appeared frequently in and around Paris – at court, at the homes of the nobility and after 1725 at the Concert Spirituel. During 1709 he was in Schwerin, where he was appointed musical director and concert master of the Hofkapelle; he returned to Paris in 1710. In 1715 Maximilian Emanuel regained his throne and returned to Bavaria; Baptiste left his service and soon entered that of Louis XIV. […]
Baptiste left the 24 Violons du Roi in about 1735 […]. The self-exiled violinist remained in Paris until 1737 or 1738, when he became a violinist in the orchestra of Stanislaus Leszczynski, ex-king of Poland, at the court of Lorraine at Lunéville. Here he spent the rest of his days, playing the violin, hunting and fishing, and died poor after a lengthy illness, leaving no heirs.
The two major figures of the French violin school in the first quarter of the 18th century were Baptiste and Senaillé."
