Does anyone know any French composers that were contemporary with Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven? I just realized I don't know any. I have some familiarity with the Baroque music of the french masters such as Rameau, Couperin, Lully etc. And then I of course know the masters of the late 19th/early 20th century who were either of French origin or composed in France such as Chopin, Liszt, Debussy, Franck, Fauré, Saint-Saens, Ravel, etc. But between those eras there is a big gap. Where there any great composers active in france between those two eras?
