environment that the wealthy bourgeois and leading patron of music, Alexandre Jean Joseph Le Riche de La Pouplinière (1693-1762), built the most important of the private orchestras. His musicians were almost exclusively young outsiders and newcomers, from everywhere except France, who challenged the dominance of the French style. Heated controversies over the merits of French versus other forms of music, such as the Querelle des Bouffons (1752), marked the midcentury. At the Paris Opera, supporters of the French style took to gathering beneath the King's box, while critics gathered under the box of the Queen, Marie Leszczyńska, of Polish-Lithuanian extraction. She was the daughter of the deposed King of Poland, Stanislaw Leszczyński, later styled the Duc de Lorraine. Jean-Jacques Rousseau (born in Geneva); Friedrich Melchior, Baron von Grimm (born in Regensburg); and Baron d'Holbach (born Paul-Heinrich Dietrich in Edesheim) were amongst the most prominent agitators for the inclusion of other cultural genres of music, and all were newcomers. The fact cannot be overemphasized: the rising agitation for equality and inclusion in civilian circles, coming from such newcomers, occurred after many decades of African, Scottish, Irish, Polish, German, Turkish and other soldiers had donned the uniform and fought the many global wars of France.
