Antoine de Lhoyer

Antoine de Lhoyer (born September 6, 1768 in Clermont-Ferrand, France, March 15, 1852) was a French composer and guitarist of the Early Romantic era.

Antoine de Lhoyer came from a family from the Auvergne, who was a member of the family. Pierre-Jean Porro was probably one of his most important teachers. His life as a soldier of the royalist armies led him, among other things, to Koblenz and Vienna. He settled in Hamburg for two years, where some of his works were published. On the trip to Russia he gave a concert in Berlin in December 1802. In St. Petersburg he was active as a composer and guitarist in the surroundings of the czar court for ten years. Before Napoleon's campaign in Russia, he returned to France.

Lhoyer left a considerable number of chamber music, which comprises a total of 38 opus numbers; mainly these are works with guitar. Many of his works were devoted to members of the Russian aristocracy. His works are being performed more and more 150 years after his death.
