Post Description

One of the last of the French clavecinists , Jacques Duphly (or Du Phly, to use the alternative name chosen by Lyrichord) was born in Rouen on January 12, 1715. He started his largely uneventful career as organist at Evreux, following which Duphly returned to Rouen to serve in a similar capacity in his home parish, St. Eloi. After gaining a second organ post in Rouen, he gave up both (and the organ) to move in 1742 to Paris, where he established a considerable reputation as a harpsichord teacher. He remained there for the rest of his life, dying in the city on July 15, 1789.
