Joseph Touchemoulin [Touchmolin, Dousmoulin, Dousmolin et al.]
(Chalon-sur-Saône?, 23 October 1727 - Regensburg, 25 October 1801)

French violinist and composer. The son of an oboist, he received his early training from his father before being sent to Italy to study under Giuseppe Tartini. Returning to Bonn in 1753 he served as a violinist at the court and later, in 1760, was appointed Kapellmeister. He left only a year later, however, to take up a position as violinist at the Thurn und Taxis court in Regensburg, where he spent the rest of his career. His music contains a similar style to the Mannheim composers. His surviving works include an opera, a Mass, a Requiem, six symphonies, 13 concertos (violin and flute), a string quartet, a divertimento, four violin sonatas, numerous Lieder, and a host of smaller chamber works. Of his three children, two are known to have been musicians, his daughter Anna Catharina Touchemoulin (1757-1844), who was singer and pianist, and his son Egidius or Ludwig Touchemoulin (1759-1830), who by about 1777 was a violinist in his father's orchestra and in 1787 became its leader.
