Louise Béguin-Salomon (9 April 1831 – 12 November 1916) was a French pianist and composer of the late Romantic period.[1][2][3][4][5]
Life and career[edit]
Louise-Frédérique Cohen (dite Salomon) was born on 9 April 1831 in Marseille, France. She attended the Conservatoire de Paris beginning in July 1843.[1] She was a piano student of the composer and pianist Louise Farrenc, who taught at the Conservatoire.[1] While attending the Conservatoire, Béguin-Salomon won numerous prizes, including first prize for piano in 1851.[1] Béguin-Salomon was active as both a pianist and composer.[1] She composed numerous pieces for piano, including La Bal breton: Quadrille brillant et facile (1849), Mazurka de Salon (1875),[6] and Petite suite des pièces faciles dans le style classique (1894).[7] In addition, Béguin-Salomon arranged the Andante movement of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's String Quartet No. 1 for piano in 1853.[8] In his Biographie universelle des musiciens, François-Joseph Fétis described her as becoming "one of the best pianists in Paris, one of the artists most beloved by the public."[1][9]
