Michael Corrette(10 April 1707 21 January 1795) was a French composer, organistand author of musical method books.In 1726, Corrette entered into a competition for the post of organist at the Church of Sainte Marie-Madeleinein Paris, but was not selected. He then earned his living as a music teacher (which in fact made him more money than he would have as an organist), and in 1727 he published his first collections of sonatas for various instruments such as the flute, violin, brass, musette, and hurdy-gurdy.
