François Doisy [Doisi, Doisy-Bedard, Doisy-Lintant]
(1748 - Paris, 28 August 1806)

French guitarist and composer. He has sometimes been erroneously named as Charles Doisy or even as Doisy Lintant. His youth years are unknown. From 1797, he devoted himself to the guitar as a performer, teacher, composer and publisher. For many years he enjoyed an enviable reputation as a professor of the guitar in Paris, and during his later years he established a music and musical instrument business in this city, being thus occupied at the time of his death. He had the advantage of a thorough musical training and education in harmony and composition, as his published works prove, and he wrote for the guitar in its capacity as a solo instrument, for accompaniment, and in combination with almost every other instrument. His published compositions number more than two hundred, and during the early part of his career, the guitar was strung with but five strings tuned as at present, but without the sixth or lowest E, and Doisy's early compositions are therefore more limited in scope and compass. His output include several concertos for the guitar with accompaniment of string quartet, serenades for guitar, violin and alto, grand duos for guitar and violoncello, guitar and piano, guitar and oboe, and the guitar in duos with the horn, bassoon, viola, flute and another guitar. There are also published under his name many collections of pieces for guitar solo, including Les folies d'Espagne being fifty variations and many collections for violin and guitar, and flute and guitar. He was the author of several methods for the guitar, among them, 'Principaux généraux et raisonnés de la guitare' (1801) and 'Éléments de musique en forme de dialogue' (1804).
