Repertoire in dialogue
The son of the organist Jean Tapray, Jean-François Tapray was organist of the collegiate church of Dole from 1754 to 1759 and, from 1773 to 1786, first organist of the École royale militaire in Paris. A harpsichordist and teacher esteemed by Grétry, he accompanied the transition from harpsichord to fortepiano; his Six Concertos Op. 1 (1758) are written ’for harpsichord or organ’. The date and place of his death remain uncertain.
