Hervé AUDÉON : 'Métoyen, Jean-Baptiste', Grove Music Online, ed. L. Macy (Accessed 30 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Métoyen, Jean-Baptiste(-Jacques)
(b Paris, 28 July 1733; d Paris, 14 Aug 1822). French composer, bassoonist and serpent player. According to A. de La Fage he was also ‘graveur de lettres et d'ornements’. He played the bassoon at the Chapelle Royale from 1760 to 1792, and was also ‘secrétaire des atours’to Madame Sophie for seven years. After the Revolution, he became treasurer in the administration of the Institution Quinze-Vingt. This carried a pension which enabled him to retire, in 1811, to the Institution de Sainte-Perrine, rue de Chaillot, in Paris. With the Restoration he was made honorary music librarian to Louis XVIII, an office granted by the Duke of Rohan."
