Jean-Philippe Rameau topped the summit of the Musical Establishment - named Compositeur du Cabinet du Roi in 1745 - yet his pedigree was hardly auspicious. For a time a travelling violinist, he held numerous undistinguished posts as provincial organist (rarely serving out his contract and on one occasion deliberately playing sufficiently badly to ensure his dismissal) before finally settling in Paris at the age of forty.
