Jacques-Jules Bouffil

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jacques Jules Boufil (Bouffil, Bouffils, Bonfil). (Muret, May 14, 1783- 1868). French.

He was a pupil of Xavier Lefèvre at the Paris Conservatoire, gaining a First Prize in 1806, which until 1817 carried with it the award of a pair of French-made clarinets in B flat and C[1].

His compositions for clarinet duet and trio are some of the most worthwhile written for the medium. They are full-scale works of considerable substance and were doubtless intended for performance by professionals.
