Jean HARDEN: 'Pierre Leduc', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 10 June 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com :
"Pierre Leduc [le jeune]
(b Paris, 17 Oct 1755; dBordeaux, 18 Oct 1826). Violinist, publisher and seller of musical instruments, brother of Simon Leduc. He made his début as a violin soloist at the Concert Spirituel in the spring of 1770 and appeared frequently thereafter, receiving consistently favourable reviews. He studied with his brother Simon, whose works made up the bulk of Pierre’s concert repertory. The brothers sometimes appeared together, on which occasions Simon yielded the first violin part to Pierre.
In March 1775 Leduc first advertised as a publisher […] Leduc published a great variety of music, particularly orchestral and serious chamber music at first, then a quantity of less weighty material for amateurs during the 1790s. He did not completely stop playing the violin; his name continued to appear in the lists of violinists in the Concert Spirituel, although he seems to have devoted most of his attention to publishing from about 1776. […] By 1819 he had moved to Bordeaux where he may have taught music but was no longer active as a publisher, and where he died in poverty in 1826."
