          French flutist and composer

          Michel Blavet (March 13, 1700 – October 28, 1768) was a French composer and flutevirtuoso. Although Blavet taught himself to play almost every instrument, he specialized in the bassoon and the flute which he held to the left,[citation needed] the opposite of how most flutists hold theirs today.

          Quantz wrote of Blavet: "His amiable disposition and engaging manner gives rise to a lasting friendship between us and I am much indebted to him for his numerous acts of kindness."[This quote needs a citation]
