Pierre Leduc

Pierre Leduc or Le Duc (17 February 1755 – 18 October 1826) was a French violinist and music publisher, active from 1775 to 1811.

The brothers sometimes played together, Simon "the older" willingly leaving the first part to Pierre "the young,"[2] as they were described on the title page of the scores.

Composers such as Antonio Salieri (Les Danaïdes), Luigi Boccherini, and Joseph Haydn, were part of his catalog.

Following a brief experience in piano manufacturing, which brought him close to bankruptcy in March 1804,[2] he settled for some time in Hamburg, but resumed his Parisian business in August 1808.

Upon his return, he worked together with his second son, Jean-Jacques Leduc (1792-1855), and published music magazines until February 1811, when he retired.

The publisher's signature on a score by Joseph Haydn , the Symphony in G major, Hob I:92 , published by Leduc in 1789. ^{[
