    Dupuis, Albert

    Albert Dupuis was born in Verviers in 1877.

    Orphaned at the age of fifteen, he pursued his studies at the Verviers Conservatoire while working as a tutor at the Grand Theatre of Verviers

    He was a brilliant and precocious student, and he composed his first comic opera already at the age of eighteen.

    His work is not particularly well documented but
    he gave us

    First Symphony, 1904

    second Symphony, 1923

    Piano Concerto

    Violin Concerto

    Cello Concerto

    String Quartet

    Piano Quartet

    among a great deal else.

    I had never heard of him!

    Just want to say a big thanks for bringing these sometimes scandalously little-known composers to our attention, SG.

      ... scandalously little-known - or just perhaps - deservedly little-known
