His oeuvre included nearly 100 works for string quartet and trio, as well as over 100 duos (most for two violins), nearly 40 sonatas for various instruments and over 100 etudes and caprices.

He was also a supporter of the French Revolution and catalogued the musical instruments confiscated during the Reign of Terror.

No works are listed in RISM, and Fémy remains unmentioned in Grove or MGG, although a good listing can be found in Fétis.

These duos exhibit an unusual creativity in the transcription process.
