Known as a leading French pianist and educator of the 19th century. As a composer, he produced over Op. 180 piano pieces, as well as numerous etude books, editions, and treatises. He studied piano with Zimmermann at the Paris Conservatoire, winning the Premier Prix in 1832. As his teacher's successor, he taught piano to students including Dubois, Bizet, d'Indy, and Albéniz. His son, Antonin (1850-1909), was also his pupil and was active as a pianist-composer, involved in teaching at the Paris Conservatoire. Today, few people are familiar with their works.
