Jérôme Dorival

Jérôme Dorival (born in 1952) is a French clarinetist, composer and musicologist. Biography Born in Paris, Jérôme Dorival is one of the four sons of historian and art critic, Bernard Dorival. He studied at the Conservatoire de Paris with Norbert Dufourcq and Rémy Stricker, and at the Sorbonne with Albert Soboul, Pierre Vilar, Dominique Julia and Alphonse Dupront. His doctoral thesis in musicology deals with La Cantatille en France au XVIII, under the direction of Jacques Chailley. As a researcher, he devoted himself especially to the pianist and pedagogue Hélène de Montgeroult, professor at the brand new Conservatoire in 1795 and composer. For the reissue of the scores of Montgeroult, Dorival founded the Éditions Modulation. He is professor of music history at the Conservatoire de Lyon and in Lausanne.
