He died at Roissy-en-Brie near Paris on 28 October 1755. Exceedingly prolific with over a hundred published opus numbers, he was the first French composer to write instrumental concertos for five transverse flutes and popularised the French flute sonata, light cantatas, and stage works including Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse.
