Albert Roussel
Albert Charles Paul Marie Roussel (; 5 April 1869 – 23 August 1937) was a French composer. He spent seven years as a midshipman, turned to music as an adult, and became one of the most prominent French composers of the interwar period. His early works were strongly influenced by the impressionism of Debussy and Ravel, while he later turned toward neoclassicism. Biography Born in Tourcoing ( Nord), Roussel's earliest interest was not in music but mathematics. He spent time in the French Navy, and in 1889 and 1890, he served on the crew of the frigate ''Iphigénie'' and spent several years in southern Vietnam. These travels affected him artistically, as many of his musical works would reflect his interest in far-off, exotic places. After resigning from the Navy in 1894, he began to study harmony in Roubaix, first with Julien Koszul (grandfather of composer Henri Dutilleux), who encouraged him to pursue his formation in Paris with Eugène Gigout; Roussel then continued ...

Pierre Roussel
Pierre Roussel (1723 - 7 June 1782) was a successful but somewhat pedestrian cabinetmaker (''ébéniste'') of Paris. He was joined in his extensive business by his two sons, Pierre-Michel (master in 1766) and Pierre le jeune (master in 1771). Roussel's stamp, with its fleur-de-lis between the P and ROUSSEL, is often seen, but such quantities of goods made by others, both new and old, passed through the shop, and so much cabinetwork from Roussel's workshop was sold and stamped by other ''marchands-ébénistes'', that it is not easy to recognize any consistent sequence of characteristic styles, characteristic constructions, gilt-bronze mounts unique to his shop or marquetry. Consequently Roussel is often credited with a wide-ranging stylistic approach. The elder Roussel's father was a simple ''compagnon'', a journeyman cabinetmaker working for a master ''ébéniste''. Four of Roussel's brothers were '' menuisiers'', working on carved seat furniture and room paneling. He married Ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
