Blainville, Charles Henri de 1711-?1769 France, near Tours - Paris
cellist

[according to Fetis he was born 1711 in a village near Tours and died 1769, but a new work by Blainville was announced on 16.mar.1771 so he may have actually died after that date]
[on his opus 1 of 1740 he is named Blainville de Rouen which could mean he was active in Rouen at that time or that he was born there]
