"By 1686 Robert de Visée was one of the King Louis XIV's favorite musicians performing regularly in the private royal chambers, while also being recognised in Versailles (esatablished as the new seat of France's Government in 1682) for his musicianship. However he held no official post until 1709, when he was appointed royal chamber singer. He performed in Court concerts with leading musical figures of the day including the harpsichordist Jean-Baptiste Buterne and viola da gamba player Antoine Forqueray. He was named Guitar Master of the King (Maître de Guitare du Roi) in 1719, this after having unofficially tutored the King from 1695, and ceded the position to his son Francois, in 1721."
