There is not much known about the horn player A. Corret. On his first duo, he names himself A.Corret jeune in order not to be taken for the musician L. Corret, who lived in Paris and had published something about musicology. A. Corret played the first horn in Rouen at the Grand Theatre 1815 – 1862. Perhaps, he studied horn in Paris, because he was known to Louis-François Dauprat. The 5th most virtuose horn concerto of Dauprat was dedicated to Corret (ROM 155).
We only know of chamber music by Corret. The first of these duos are dedicated to Mad. Adelle Lechevallier, the second to his friend Eustache Bérat (1792 – 1884, living in Rouen as painter, chansonniere and certainly also guitar player).
