Jules Mouquet (1867-1946) was a French composer, music professor, and arts advocate. He graduated from the Conservatoire de Paris, where he studied under Xavier Leroux and Théodore Dubois. The majority of his catalogue remains obscure and is rarely heard today. The notable exception is Flûte de Pan, Op. 15 (1906) originally for flute and orchestra and later arranged by Mouquet into a sonata for flute and piano. Cinq Pièces Brèves, Op. 39, or Five Short Pieces are characteristic of Mouquet’s late Romantic Style; all are short in form, chromatic, free flowing and impressionistic.
