Life
Born in Paris, Mozin was first a pupil of François-Joseph Gossec, and then became a professor at the Conservatoire de Paris (until 1802), where Victor Dourlen was among his pupils. He later married the daughter of Louis Joseph Guichard, singing teacher, in his third marriage.
They had two children: the eldest, the marine painter Charles Mozin, discoverer of Trouville-sur-Mer, and his brother, the composer Théodore Mozin, second Grand Prix de Rome in musical composition in 1841 (a pupil of Henri-Montan Berton and Fromental Halévy).
Mozin was a member of the "Société académique des enfants d'Apollon" and of the Société du Caveau.
He left about 60 scores for the piano including Souvenir de Trouville, Op. 19, a title revived by his son Theodore (Quadrille, Op. 22).
After he died in 1857 in Sèvres, Mozin was buried at the cimetière du Père-Lachaise (8th division).
