by John Weeks Moore

Blondeau, Aug. Louis, born at Paris in 1786, was a pupil of Mehul, and gained, in 1808, the grand prize for composition given by the Paris Conservatory. The cantata composed for the prize was " Mary Stuart," the words by Monsieur de Jouy. Blondeau has arranged some of the sonatas of Beethoven as quartets. His cantata of "Mary Stuart" may be found in the Journal Hebdomadaire" of Leduc, thirty-eighth year, Nos. 45-48.
