Jacques-Jules Bouffil

Jacques Jules Boufil (or Bouffil, Bouffils, Bonfil) (Muret, May 14, 1783 – Toulouse, November 1,1868) was a French composer and clarinetist.

He was a pupil of Xavier Lefèvre at the Paris Conservatoire, gaining a First Prize in 1806, which until 1817 carried with it the award of a pair of French-made clarinets in B flat and C.[1]

His compositions for clarinet duet and trio are some of the most worthwhile written for the medium. They are full-scale works of considerable substance and were doubtless intended for performance by professionals.

gollark: That is almost certainly not profitable.
gollark: In that case I doubt you can increase the power much. Without breaking/damaging the diode.
gollark: This poses an interesting philosophical question: if you take a laser pointer, replace all the components, then build a new laser pointer from the removed components, which (if any) is the original laser pointer?
gollark: I see. Kind of confusing to equate them when you're talking about them going up/down, is all.
