This is an old posting, but it has not attracted much response.
I have a poor track-record as a speller, so I should be sympathetic.

It would be a honour for me to sit in Jim's chamber music class
but I would not miss the opportunity to use the wider resources
of the university library. Let's try a few French language and
contemporary sources:
Fetis!! One spelling
Next, are there any theses on Reicha (Rejcha)? Yes!
Millard Myron Laing, University of Michigan, 1952!" One spelling
Recommended reading:
Jean Mongredien: French Music from the Enlightenment to Romanticism,
1789-1830, Amadeus Press, Portland, Oregon 1996. In English.
(Mr B is not mentioned but everyone else is.)
Next, we need to know a lot more about Jules Jacques B than
how to spell his name. [Pamela Weston gives 4 spellings in MCVP,
but does not highlight the one used by Fetis and Laing]
His teacher: Lefevre 1804-
His Prizes: 1807, 1808 see Fetis
Date of appointment as professor: Not appointed
Played at the Paris Opera: 1818
Played at the Opera Comique: 2nd to Duvernoy and co-1st 1807-, 1st in 1821
Played at Feydeau Theatre: nil
Played in the Chapel of Louis VXIII: nil
Played in the Orchestra of Louis Philippe: nil
Played at the Italian Theatre: nil
Played at the Theatre Favart: the quintets
