A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Flamand-Grétry

FLAMAND-GRÉTRY, Louis Victor, born 1764, married the niece of Grétry, and bought 'l'Ermitage,' near Montmorency, long the alternate residence of Rousseau and Grétry, and the burial place of the latter. An offer he made, but subsequently withdrew, of presenting Grétry's heart to Liége, the native place of the composer, involved him in a long and ruinous lawsuit, which finally went against him. He died in Paris, July 1843.
