Nicolas Antoine Lebegue

Nicolas-Antoine Lebègue (1631 – July 6, 1702) was a French Baroque composer, organist and harpsichordist. Although he was an innovative composer and quite famous during his lifetime, Lebègue's music is rarely performed or recorded today. He is perhaps best remembered as the teacher of Nicolas de Grigny. Little is known about Lebègue's early years and musical training. By 1656 he was living in Paris and by 1661 he was already known as the famous Paris organist.
