Jacques (Martin) Hotteterre ‘le Romain’ [Haulteterre, Haute terre, Hoteterre, Obterre et al.]
(Paris, 29 September 1673 - Paris, 16 July 1763)

French composer. Son of Martin Hotteterre (c.1635-1712), in about 1704, he succeeded his cousin Jacques Hotteterre in the post of basse de hautbois et taille de violon at the royal court. 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, 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. He owed his fame largely to his talent for playing the flute, an instrument for which he wrote a number of pieces, significantly extending the repertory for the instrument. In addition, he played the bassoon, oboe, and musette. Hotteterre was also an internationally celebrated teacher to aristocratic patrons. He wrote one method for the transverse flute, recorder, and oboe, published in 1707, as well as a method for the musette, published in 1737. His 'L'Art de préluder sur la flûte traversière' was published in 1719. It was Europe's first flute manual and was used widely. He died in Paris in 1763.
