Spellingvariant: Johann Joseph Rudolph. Er is één bron, die hem Rudolph Hüllmandel noemt.
Jean-Joseph Rodolphe was componist. Eigenlijk heette hij Johann Joseph Rudolph, maar hij koos voor de Franse variant van zijn naam. Hij was een neef van Nicolas-Joseph Hüllmandel, die ook componist was.
Jean-Joseph Rodolphe (Strasbourg, 14 October 1730 – Paris 12 August 1812) was an Alsatian horn player, violinist and composer. A pupil of Jean-Marie Leclair in Paris, he travelled to Parma in 1754, to Stuttgart in 1761, where he played in the ducal court orchestra and studied with Niccolò Jommelli. There he provided the music for Jean-Georges Noverre's ballet of Jason et Médée (premiere, 11 February 1763). By 1767 he was once again in Paris, where he composed music for the stage, both ballets and operas, and horn music and taught. From 1798 he was a professor at the Paris Conservatory. He popularized the horn as a solo instrument and was probably the first in Paris to use the technique of hand-stopping, by which a natural horn can be made to produce notes outside of its normal harmonic series. None of his music survives in the modern concert repertory.
Johann Joseph Rudolph ist dem Taufbuch der St. Ludwigskirche zufolge am 14. Oktober 1730 in Straßburg geboren, und zwar als Sohn deutscher Eltern. Sein Vater scheint selbst Musiker gewesen zu sein, wenn anders der Bericht von Fétis richtig ist, daß der Sohn schon in frühen Lebensjahren von ihm Unterricht in Horn- und Violinspiel erhalten hat
