Deborah HAYES : 'Bayon Louis, Marie Emmanuelle', Grove Music Online ed. L. Macy (Accessed 29 March 2004), http://www.grovemusic.com:
"Bayon Louis [née Bayon], Marie Emmanuelle
(b Marcei, Orne, 1746; d Aubevoye, Eure, 19 March 1825). French pianist and composer. She published six keyboard sonatas, three with violin accompaniment (1769); a two-act opéra comique, Fleur d’épine (1776);…. Her unpublished works, discussed during her lifetime but now lost, include further instrumental chamber music and opéras-comiques, and a divertissement La fête de Saint Pierre to a text by Antoine-François Quétant (performed in 1771). Her playing, singing and composing were recognized from the 1760s in Parisian intellectual and artistic circles. She was a member of the salon of Mme de Genlis, who discusses Bayon’s music in her Mémoires (Paris, 1825), and music teacher to the daughter of Dénis Diderot, who refers to Bayon in his Leçons de clavecin, et principes d’harmonie (Paris, 1771). She married the architect Victor Louis in 1770, presided over distinguished salons in Bordeaux and Paris, and is credited with bringing the fortepiano into vogue in France."
