[127] Alphonse d’Eve received the appointment of Choirmaster at the
Antwerp Cathedral on November 5, 1718, having previously directed during
a long period the choir of the church of St. Martin in Courtrai. The
announcement of Fétis that d’Eve composed a solemn Mass in the year
1719, for two choirs, with accompaniment for instruments, amongst which
there was an obbligato for Violoncello, is a matter of interest to us.
[128] Fétis points out that he was at the Favart Theatre. Müntzberger,
however, calls himself on the title-page of the Cello School:
“Professeur de Violoncelle au Théâtre Feydeau.”
[129] Fétis gives the year of his birth 1812. His brother, Joseph, was
born 1816.--(_Tr._)
