Anne Jeanne Boucon
1708–1780 · Paris · French harpsichordist
Anne Jeanne Boucon was a French harpsichordist born in Paris in 1708 and who died in the same city on 4 February 1780. Her name is linked to that of the composer Jean-Joseph Cassanéa de Mondonville, to whom she was married.
The information available about her musical career is scarce. The details of her professional activity, her concerts and her works are not known with certainty, so it is not possible to describe her career as a performer with precision.
Her importance lies above all in her presence within the Parisian musical circle of the eighteenth century, where the harpsichord was a central instrument in both salon life and musical education.
