Charles Duvernoy (1763-1845) was born in Montbéliard, France. He started to study clarinet in Strasbourg meanwhile playing in a military band. In 1790 he moved to Paris where he improved his playing, while joining, as did his brother hornist Frédéric-Nicolas, the National Guard Band. Later he became principal clarinet in the orchestra of the De Monsieur Theatre as well as at the Feydeau Theatre of Saint-Germain, where he kept this position until 1824. He was also a professor of the Conservatory of Paris between 1800-1802 and 1808-1816.
-Duvernoy wrote mainly for his own instrument, the clarinet, which was becoming increasingly popular, gaining a strong position in the orchestra and chamber music.
