François Georges Auguste Dauverné (16 February 1799 – 4 November 1874) was a French trumpeter who in 1827 was the first to use the new F three-valved trumpet in public performance.^{[citation needed]} Dauverné was amongst the first to realise the potential of the newly invented valve trumpet after the arrival of a specimen, sent by Spontini from Prussia to Paris in 1826, and is credited with persuading several composers to write for it, the first three being Chélard (Macbeth, 1827), Berlioz (Waverley Overture, 1827) and Rossini (Guillaume Tell, 1829) (Tarr n.d.).
