1865-1935. French composer. His orchestral
scherzo L'Apprenti Sorcier/The Sorcerer's
Apprentice 1897 is full of the colour and
energy that characterizes much of his work.
He was professor of composition at the Paris
Conservatoire and composed the opera Ariane
et Barbe-Bleue/Ariane and Bluebeard 1907, and
the ballet La Peri 1912.
