Louis-Toussaint Milandre ( floruit ca. 1756 – ca. 1776) was a French composer, violinist, viol and viola d'amore player in the court chamber music of Louis XV of France. [1]
Milandre's Méthode facile pour la viole d'amour (Easy Method for the Viola d'amore), published in 1771 [2] (previously thought to be published in 1782), contains thorough information on viola d'amore technique, along with a selection of arrangements and compositions. The method remains an important pedagogical volume. [2]
In 1776, Milandre was editor of L'année musicale, a Parisian musical journal. [2]
Several composers including Louis van Waefelghem, Vadim Borisovsky and Willy Burmester have made arrangements and transcriptions of Milandre's works.
