Nicolas Dezède
Nicolas-Alexandre Dezède (c.1740 in Lyon – 11 September 1798, in Paris) was an 18th-century French composer born from unknown parents.
Dezède presented a great many number of opéras comiques, of which several were popular, at the Théâtre italien de Paris. He served the Duke des Deux-Ponts from 1749 to 1790. A freemason, he was initiated at the lodge Les Neuf Sœurs in Paris.[1] Mozart and Beethoven both wrote variations on themes by Dezède.
