Jacques-Martin Hotteterre

Jacques-Martin Hotteterre (September 29, 1674 - July 16, 1763), also known as Jacques Martin or Jacques Hotteterre, was a French composer and flautist. Jacques-Martin Hotteterre was the most celebrated of a family of wind instrument makers and wind performers.

Born in Paris, he was the son of Martin Hotteterre (d. 1712) and Marie Crespy.Fact|date=May 2008 As early as 1689 or 1692, Jacques-Martin Hotteterre may have held a post as basse de hautbois et basse de violon in the royal court, but it is possible that the Jacques Hotteterre in this post was an older relative of Jacques-Martin's, who had been earlier employed as a musician in the English Royal court.Fact|date=May 2008

Hotteterre lived and studied in Rome early in his career, and his nickname le Romain (the Roman) came from this period. He spent two years (1698-1700) employed by Prince Francesco Ruspoli in Rome [Sardelli 2007, Fact|date=May 2008 .] , before adopting the nickname of "Le Romain" at some point between 1705 and 1707. By 1708, he became a musician to the king of France, in the king's 'Grande Écurie, and in 1717, he inherited René Pignon Descoteaux's post as Jouëur de Fluste de la musique de chambre.Fact|date=May 2008 By 1743, he was listed among the most famous musicians in France.Fact|date=May 2008

Hotteterre owed his fame largely to his talent playing the flute, an instrument for which he wrote a number of pieces, significantly extending the repertory for the instrument.Fact|date=May 2008 In addition, he played the bassoon, oboe, and musette.Fact|date=May 2008 Jacque-Martin Hotteterre was also an internationally celebrated teacher to aristocratic patrons, and he wrote a few methods for the transverse flute. His L'Art de préluder sur la flûte traversière (1719) is an excellent source on ornamentation and improvisational practices during this period.Fact|date=May 2008 It underscores his highly developed technique and includes pieces in nineteen keys.Fact|date=May 2008

In addition to performance and teaching, Hotteterre continued his family's tradition of wind instrument making.Fact|date=May 2008 It may have beenweasel-inline|date=May 2008 Hotteterre who made a number of changes in the design of the transverse flute. Most notably, the flute, which had previously been made in one cylindrical piece, was cut in three pieces: the head (with the mouthpiece), the body (with most of the holes) and the foot (with several holes).Fact|date=May 2008

He died in Paris in 1763.
