Composer-pianist whose most significant output was for the Boosey & Hawkes Music Library, for which he composed and recorded countless works. Fonteyn's work has been heard on television since he recorded for Boosey & Hawkes in the 1970s. A music library recording was used as the theme of the British sitcom Please Sir! in 1968, and "Pop Looks Bach", originally written for the 1976 Winter Olympics, was later used as the theme of the long-running television programme Ski Sunday.
