about
Camille Monteze (sometimes written “Camille Montez”) is an obscure late-18th-century French keyboard composer and arranger known chiefly through Paris prints from 1778. A BnF-catalogued publication, Six Sonates pour le clavecin ou forte-piano (Œuvre 1), dates his compositional activity to the musical marketplace of revolutionary-era Paris (the edition is engraved by Marie Oger). Monteze also appears as an arranger of Gluck, issuing a Paris compilation from Armide—including the Ouverture, ariettes, and dances—adapted for harpsichord/fortepiano or harp with accompanying parts, dedicated to the Comtesse de Stroganoff; related arrangement items are indexed into 1779–1780 in the Gluck scholarly edition’s source register.
