French baroque violinist and composer (Lyon May 10, 1697 - Paris October 22, 1764). Also known as Jean-Marie Leclair the Elder (Jean-Marie Leclair dit L'Aîné). He studied the violin in Turin, Italy. From 1723, he played at the Concert Spirituel in Paris, the main semi-public music series. In 1733, he was named "ordinaire de la musique" by Louis XV, but he resigned in 1737 after a clash with Guidon over control of the musique du Roy. Leclair was then engaged by the Princess of Orange, and from 1738 until 1743 he served three months annually at her court in The Hague. He returned to Paris in 1743, where his only opera "Scylla et Glaucus" was first performed in 1746.
