Joseph Bodin de Boismortier
(1689 – 1755)
Wikipedia: Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689 – 1755) was a French baroquecomposer of instrumental music, cantatas, opéra-ballets, and vocal music. Boismortier was one of the first composers to have no patrons: having obtained a royal license for engraving music in 1724, he made enormous sums of money by publishing his music for sale to the public.
