Pierre Février
Pierre Février (1696–1760) was a French baroque composer, organist and harpsichordist.

Born at Abbeville on 21 March 1696, he arrived in Paris in 1720 and served as titular organist of two churches on Saint-Honoré street: the Jacobins' church (destroyed at the Revolution) and Saint-Roch (still standing). Claude-Bénigne Balbastre, who moved to Paris in 1750, was among his pupils and eventually succeeded Février at Saint-Roch. Pierre Février died in Paris on 5 November 1760.

Two volumes of his harpsichord pieces are extant. The first one is dated 1734 and contains five suites:
* Suite in A major
** Allemande la Magnanime
** Le Concert des Dieux - Double du concert
** La Délectable
** Le Berceau
** La Boufonne ou la Paysanne
* Suite in D minor
** Fugue
** Courante
** Les Plaisirs des Sens
** Le Labyrinthe
** Ariette et doubles
* Suite in B minor
** Fugue
** L'Intrépide
** La Grotesque
* Suite in D major
** Gavotte et doubles
** Le Brinborion
** Le Tendre Language
** Tambourin
* Suite ("Festes de Campagne") in C major
** Entrée
** Musette
** 2 Menuets
** Le Gros Colas et la Grosse Jeanne
** Les Petites Bergères

The second volume, composed after 1734 and before 1737, was discovered in the late 1990s in a private collection in Belgium (Arenberg). It contains two harpsichord suites that follow a similar pattern, mixing dances and descriptive "pièces de caractère" in the typical late Baroque French tradition:

* 1st Suite in G Minor
** Les Liens Harmoniques - Rondeau
** La Caressante - Rondeau
** La Fertillante
** La petite Coquette
** Tambourin - Rondeau
* 2nd Suite in C Minor
** Allemande
** Les Tendres Tourterelles - Rondeau
** Les Croisades - Rondeau
** Menuet
