Form\u00e9 aupr\u00e8s de son p\u00e8re, il avait un temps collabor\u00e9 avec un concurrent, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Corm\u00e9ry, avant de revenir dans l\u2019entreprise familiale<a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. En 1790, en pleine tourmente r\u00e9volutionnaire, Lucien Joseph transf\u00e8re l\u2019atelier rue Serpente \u00e0 Paris, adresse qui restera celle de la maison Raoux pendant plus d\u2019un demi-si\u00e8cle. L\u2019activit\u00e9 se poursuit malgr\u00e9 les changements de r\u00e9gime. Lucien Joseph Raoux va jouer un r\u00f4le majeur dans le perfectionnement du cor \u201cmoderne\u201d en France. D\u00e9j\u00e0 avant la R\u00e9volution, il s\u2019attache \u00e0 faire \u00e9voluer les cors de chasse traditionnels pour les adapter aux exigences de l\u2019orchestre naissant. En 1791, avec le concours du corniste virtuose Carl T\u00fcrrschmidt, il met au point un nouveau mod\u00e8le de cor d\u2019orchestre dit \u201ccor solo\u201d, \u00e9quip\u00e9 de cinq tons de rechange, <a href=\"https:\/\/edutheque.philharmoniedeparis.fr\/0466437-portrait-famille-raoux.aspx?_lg=fr-FR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sp\u00e9cialement con\u00e7u pour les parties solistes<\/a>. Un exemplaire superbe de ce cor solo, offert par Raoux au jeune Louis-Fran\u00e7ois Dauprat \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de son premier prix de cor au Conservatoire en 1797, est aujourd\u2019hui conserv\u00e9 au Mus\u00e9e de la Musique \u00e0 Paris. Ce geste symbolique illustre les liens privil\u00e9gi\u00e9s que Raoux entretenait avec les musiciens d\u2019\u00e9lite de son \u00e9poque. De fait, Lucien Joseph collabora \u00e9troitement avec les cornistes les plus renomm\u00e9s de l\u2019Op\u00e9ra de Paris et du Conservatoire. Outre Dauprat,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornsociety.org\/multimedia-mainmenu\/symposium-highlights\/1305-raoux-family#:~:text=Image%3A%20Raoux%20cor%20solo%20for,Raoux%20cor%20solo%20for%20Dauprat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> on sait qu\u2019il a fabriqu\u00e9 des cors pour des virtuoses<\/a> tels que Giovanni Punto, Heinrich Domnich, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Duvernoy, Jean-Kilien Kenn ou Lebrun au tournant du XIX\u00e8me si\u00e8cle. <br>L\u2019atelier de la rue Serpente tourne alors \u00e0 plein r\u00e9gime, combinant tradition et innovation. Lucien Joseph, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 son d\u00e9c\u00e8s en 1823, perfectionne la facture des cors naturels sans piston, au point de les rendre tr\u00e8s pris\u00e9s des cornistes solistes de l\u2019\u00e9poque. Il est aussi l\u2019un des rares facteurs \u00e0 oser la fabrication de trompettes circulaires au d\u00e9but des ann\u00e9es 1820, instrument original qu\u2019il destine aux orchestres romantiques.

La forme en demi-lune, d\u00e9velopp\u00e9e notamment par les Cr\u00e9tien, permet d\u2019allonger un peu le tube et d\u2019enrichir les possibilit\u00e9s sonores. Vers 1680, ces instruments sont adopt\u00e9s \u00e0 la cour de Louis XIV, marquant l\u2019essor de la trompe de chasse dans la v\u00e9nerie royale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Au XVIII\u00e8me si\u00e8cle, l\u2019instrument \u00e9volue vers la trompe en R\u00e9, circulaire et beaucoup plus longue, ce qui permet l\u2019\u00e9mission de nombreux harmoniques rendant l\u2019instrument pratiquement diatonique dans l\u2019aigu. Elle a \u00e9t\u00e9 introduite dans les fanfares de chasse sous l\u2019impulsion du marquis de Dampierre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Si les premiers mod\u00e8les apparaissent chez les Cr\u00e9tien, la famille Raoux en assure le perfectionnement et la diffusion, notamment avec la trompe \u00e0 la \u201cDauphine\u201d. Cette filiation directe entre les deux ateliers est essentielle dans l\u2019histoire de l\u2019instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans le m\u00eame temps, le cor quitte progressivement la seule sph\u00e8re de la chasse pour entrer dans celle de la musique. Adapt\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019orchestre gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 l\u2019ajout de tons de rechange, permettant de changer la tonalit\u00e9 de base de l\u2019instrument, il devient un instrument \u00e0 part enti\u00e8re, auquel les Raoux contribuent largement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La trompe en r\u00e9 de Raoux propos\u00e9e ici est l\u2019aboutissement de cette \u00e9volution. Plus compacte que les grands cors anciens, elle conserve pourtant la m\u00eame fonction : sonner en plein air. Elle t\u00e9moigne \u00e0 la fois de la continuit\u00e9 d\u2019un usage et de la transformation d\u2019un instrument de signal en instrument de musique, reliant directement l\u2019h\u00e9ritage des Cr\u00e9tien \u00e0 la tradition des Raoux.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-15 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"10862\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Grand cor demi lune estampill\u00e9 VILEDIEV\" class=\"wp-image-10862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grand cor demi lune estampill\u00e9 VILEDIEV &#8211; Ex collection Werner Flachs &#8211; Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 1er mai 2021 &#8211; \u00a9 Vichy Ench\u00e8res\/ Photo C.

Its founder, Louis Raoux (1648 \u2013 1728), settled in Nancy in 1663 where he became a distinguished coppersmith, who benefited from the exclusive right to work brass and manufacture instruments of war and hunting, including horns and trumpets. His son, Fran\u00e7ois Raoux (c.1695 \u2013 1749), continued the family business. <a href=\"https:\/\/collectionsdumusee.philharmoniedeparis.fr\/0466437-portrait-famille-raoux.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">He set up shop in Versailles in 1741, and was appointed \u201cmaker of hunting horns to the King\u201d, supplying the royal hunts under Louis XV until his death in1749<\/a>. After Fran\u00e7ois Raoux, two of his sons took over the workshop. Pierre Raoux (1723 \u2013 after 1789) ran the original workshop in Nancy, while Joseph Raoux (1725 \u2013 1787) settled in Paris in 1749.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Although initially not a member of a guild \u2013 being a coppersmith \u2013 Joseph eventually joined the instrument makers&#8217; guild in 1754 and obtained the title of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/collectionsdumusee.philharmoniedeparis.fr\/0466437-portrait-famille-raoux.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">master luthier maker of musical instruments<\/a>\u201d by decree of the King&#8217;s Council.

After his initial training with his father, he briefly worked with a competitor, Jean-Fran\u00e7ois Corm\u00e9ry, before returning to the family business <a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>. In 1790, amid the turmoil of the French Revolution, Lucien Joseph moved the workshop to rue Serpente in Paris, where it remained for over half a century. Its activity carried on despite political regime changes. Lucien Joseph Raoux played a major role in the development of the &#8220;modern&#8221; horn in France. Even before the Revolution, he endeavoured to adapt traditional hunting horns to meet the demands of the emerging orchestra. In 1791, with the help of the virtuoso horn player Carl T\u00fcrrschmidt, he developed a new model of orchestral horn known as the &#8220;solo horn,&#8221; equipped with five alternative tones, <a href=\"https:\/\/edutheque.philharmoniedeparis.fr\/0466437-portrait-famille-raoux.aspx?_lg=fr-FR\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">specially designed for solo parts<\/a>. A superb example of this type of solo horn, presented by Raoux to the young Louis-Fran\u00e7ois Dauprat on the occasion of his first prize for horn at the Conservatoire in 1797, is now held at the <em>Mus\u00e9e de la Musique<\/em> in Paris. This symbolic gesture illustrates the close ties Raoux had with the elite musicians of his time. Indeed, Lucien Joseph collaborated closely with the most renowned horn players of the Paris Opera and the Conservatoire. Besides Dauprat, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornsociety.org\/multimedia-mainmenu\/symposium-highlights\/1305-raoux-family#:~:text=Image%3A%20Raoux%20cor%20solo%20for,Raoux%20cor%20solo%20for%20Dauprat\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">he is known to have made horns for virtuosos<\/a> such as Giovanni Punto, Heinrich Domnich, Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Duvernoy, Jean-Kilien Kenn, and Lebrun at the turn of the 19th century. <br>The workshop on rue Serpente was then operating at full capacity, combining tradition and innovation. Until his death in 1823, Lucien Joseph perfected the construction of natural horns without valves, making them highly sought after by solo horn players of the time. In the early 1820s, he was also one of the few makers to dare producing circular trumpets, an original instrument he intended for use in Romantic orchestras. The circular trumpet made in 1825 by Auguste Raoux for the Op\u00e9ra-Comique \u2013 sold at Vichy Ench\u00e8res on 7 May 2022 \u2013 demonstrates the short-lived but real success of these creations among Parisian trumpeters during the Restoration period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Thierry Maniguet, \u201cLa dynastie des Raoux, facteurs de \u201ccors de chasse\u201d du XVIIe au XVIIIe si\u00e8cle, dans <em>Musique.

least since Joseph Raoux. It is worth remembering that Gustave Chouquet reported the existence of a hunting horn dated 1695, engraved \u201cfait par Raoux, seul ordinaire du Roy, place du Louvre pr\u00e8s de l\u2019odiance du ministre, \u00e0 Paris 1695\u201d, and whose location is unknown <a href=\"#_ftn1\" id=\"_ftnref1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As Thierry Maniguet has demonstrated, the activity of the Raoux family, in the mid-18th century, was mainly focused on the hunting horn. The case of Joseph Raoux is interesting. He was a horn player himself, and worked primarily for a hunting clientele. The archives clearly attest to this, since between 1769 and 1774, and then again between 1782 and 1783, the Marquis de Louvois alone commissioned some 20 horns from him, in addition to calling upon him for their regular maintenance <a href=\"#_ftn2\" id=\"_ftnref2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was in this context that he obtained the title of ordinary to the King, which designated a regular supplier to the Court. Several surviving instruments bear mention of this title, along with the various addresses of the workshop. From the 1780s onward, the inscription evolved into &#8220;sole ordinary to the King&#8221;, which did not indicate an absolute monopoly, but rather a dominant position \u2013 probably in relation to hunting horns specifically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:15px\"><a href=\"#_ftnref1\" id=\"_ftn1\"><sup>[1]<\/sup><\/a> Gustave Chouquet, <em>Le mus\u00e9e du Conservatoire de musique, Catalogue descriptif et raisonn\u00e9<\/em>, Paris, Librairie de Firmin-Didot, 1884, p.147.<br><a href=\"#_ftnref2\" id=\"_ftn2\"><sup>[2]<\/sup><\/a> Thierry Maniguet, \u201cLa dynastie des Raoux, facteurs de \u201ccors de chasse\u201d du XVIIe au XVIIIe si\u00e8cle, dans <em>Musique.

This title granted the workshop a monopoly on the production of wind instruments for the Court and royal institutions such as the Opera. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hornsociety.org\/multimedia-mainmenu\/symposium-highlights\/1305-raoux-family#:~:text=Raoux%20narrow%20bore%20natural%20and,members%20who%20manufactured%20horns%20were\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">It was during this period, in the first half of the 19th century, when natural horns and hunting horns stamped Raoux were considered the finest in Europe, and were sought after even in England, that the company reached its peak<\/a>.

Although he continued his activity, and in 1852 was granted the title of \u201cSupplier to the Emperor\u201d by Napoleon III, the Raoux had to contend with growing competition from other innovative instrument makers, such as Adolphe Sax, who won the competition for orchestral instruments for the French army in 1845.

The crescent shape, developed in particular by the Cr\u00e9tien family, allowed for a slightly longer tube and expanded the instrument\u2019s range. Around 1680, these instruments were adopted at the court of Louis XIV, marking the rise in popularity of the hunting horn in royal hunting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 18th century, the instrument evolved into the horn in D, a circular and much longer instrument, which allowed for the production of harmonics, making the instrument practically diatonic in the upper register. It was introduced into hunting bands at the instigation of the Marquis de Dampierre.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>While the first models were produced by the Cr\u00e9tien family, the Raoux family perfected them and contributed to their popularity, as is the case in particular with the &#8220;Dauphine&#8221; horn. This strong connection between the two workshops is essential in understanding the history of the instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the horn gradually moved beyond the realm of hunting and into that of music. It was adapted for orchestral use through the addition of alternative tones, allowing the instrument&#8217;s standard pitch to be changed, and it became a fully-fledged musical instrument, thanks in large part to the contributions made by the Raoux family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Raoux horn in D offered here is the culmination of this evolution. While more compact than the larger horns of the past, it nevertheless retains the same function: to resonate outdoors. It embodies both to the continuity of a practice and the transformation of a signalling instrument into a musical instrument, directly linking the Cr\u00e9tien legacy to the Raoux tradition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-30 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-id=\"10862\" src=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Grand cor demi lune estampill\u00e9 VILEDIEV\" class=\"wp-image-10862\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-100x67.jpg 100w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479-1568x1045.jpg 1568w, https:\/\/vichy-encheres.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/2021-05-01-vcp-206767-1-cor-demi-lune-collection-flachs-e1775554089479.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Grand cor demi lune estampill\u00e9 VILEDIEV &#8211; Ex collection Werner Flachs &#8211; Instrument mis en vente par Vichy Ench\u00e8res le 1er mai 2021 &#8211; \u00a9 Vichy Ench\u00e8res\/ Photo C.
