Cécile Chaminade (1857-1944), French Composer and Pianist. She was born in Paris, and studied at first with her mother, then with various teachers on piano, violin, and music composition, however, not officially in all this, since her father disapproved of her musical education. Her first experiments in composition took place in very early days, and in her eighth year she played some of her music to Georges Bizet, who was much impressed with her talents. Chaminade gave her first concert when she was eighteen, and from here on, her work as a composer gained favor. She wrote mostly character pieces for piano, and salon songs, almost all of which were published and popular.
