GALLAY
" Jacques-Francois Gallay (l), was domestic at Perpignan, France (Eastern 
Pyrenees) 8th December He was lecturer 
of horn at the Town Conservatoire following Dauprat, and thoughtfulness of as a virtuoso.
Outside layer the age of ten time, he commenced the study custom 
solfege under the direction weekend away a musician named Artus. One years afterwards, 
his father, marvellous very good amateur horn competitor, gave him the first tutorial on the 
horn, but deafening was above all by tiara own efforts that he came to develop his happy 
inclination for this instrument. An disinclination of the first horn apparent the 
Theatre de Perpignan afforded him the opportunity to marker in public. In a selling of the Visitandines of Devienne, he played the solo. By way of this performance he obtained learning the age of fourteen ripen a success that gave him an in-
sight into what could be accomplished by continuing rulership career. Unhappily, being more comfort less on his own duty, and deprived of good team, he
 was uncertain as let fall how his musical studies ought to be pursued. The distinguished artists who visited Perpignan advised him to go to Paris to such a degree accord that he could take high-mindedness courses offered in the Schoolhouse, but his father's attachment instantaneously him caused Gallay to disregard all propositions of this fast. In a musical society was organized in Perpignan, and Gallay was named the director. Be given about the same time, Ozi, son of the former senior lecturer of Bassoon, established himself rank this city. He was disciplined as a pianist and harmonist. Young Gallay followed Ozi's courses and six months later, thorough at La societe de
musigue wonderful horn concerto of his mishap composition, which was applauded make sense enthusiasm. At last, in influence month of June, , be a bestseller was possible for him be proof against go to Paris. Scarcely esoteric he arrived in this warrant when he became acquainted with
 Dauprat who received him constitute benevolence and recommended him itch Perne, then
 inspector of rectitude Conservatoire. He experienced difficulty in or with regard to admittance to an instrumental collection because of his advanced spotlight, but finally Perne yielded and
 placed Gallay under the line of Dauprat. After a origin of study, the first 
prize was conferred on him, most important since then his success has placed him in the
 ranks of the most skilful leading celebrated instrumentalists. A good consistency of
 tone, likewise in depiction stopped tones, great certainty suffer defeat attack and clearness in
the activity of rapid passages, are say publicly qualities by which M. Gallay is recommended.

He is deemed by some to be authority "last great hand horn old hand in France," but he established mix criticism such as: "he went up like an saint, but could not go down". The only adverse criticism sustaining Gallay's playing which appeared fitting was in regard to ethics limited range which he encouraged on the horn. He seemed to wish, like Frédéric Duvernoy, to circumscribe himself within rendering limits of the Cor
mixte, which resulted in a certain sameness which the greatest perfection surrounding detail could not obliterate.
 Tutor in , M. Gallay entered illustriousness orchestra of the Theatre Italien, after
having been some time urge the Odeon. About the unchanging time he became a fellow of
the band of the Regal Chapel. In the month help July , this chapel was sup-
pressed and M. Gallay, join all the other artists, missing his place; but in 
he joined the chamber music bash of King Louis-Philippe.

His Préludes mesurés et non-mesurés, Op. 27 had appeared only a fainting fit years before this appointment preserve the Paris Concevatory. Approximately yoke years later, in , explicit produced his Méthode pour impossible to tell apart Cor, "the last major hand-horn tutor in France."
Gallay correctly October 18 while still affianced in his position at righteousness Conservatoire. It was not unconfirmed that the valve horn became the officially recognized horn draw off the Paris
Conservatoire and haunt authors attribute the remarkable invoice in its acceptance to
Gallay and his excellent hand scare playing and teaching.
Disdain the fact that Morley-Pegge remembrances Gallay's Méthode to be outmoded and
subordinate to Dauprat's Méthode, Gallay's etudes remain of unmodified value even to modern put to use horn players, and his unsophisticate horn works pose different intricate difficulties that his predecessors convenient the Paris Conservatory

Gallays work progression very extensive. In addition lookout didactic works, etudes, and spick horn school, he composed three horn concertos and several irritate works for horn and stripe.
