 Leloir distinguished himself as principal horn in the Suisse Romande Orchestra at Geneva (1939-1977) and as a horn teacher at the Bern, Friborg, Monte Carlo, and Geneve conservatories.
After Leloir won the first International Horn Competition at Geneve, conductor Ernest Ansermet orchestrated Schumann's Adagio and Allegro for the occasion. In 1952 his quartet, Quator de Cors Leloir, premiered the Hindemith Sonata for Four Horns.
Without his significant publications of lost or out-of-print editions, we may have lost concertos by L. Mozart, Rosetti, M. Haydn, Telemann, and many others.
