 | Cesar Franck (1822 - 1890) Belgique
César-Auguste-Jean-Guillaume-Hubert Franck (December 10, 1822 ? November 8, 1890), a composer, organist and music teacher of Belgian origin, was one of the great figures in classical music in France (and the world) in the second half of the 19th century. César Franck was born in Liège, Belgium. His father had ambitions for him to become a concert pianist, and he studied at the conservatoire in Liège before going to the Paris Conservatoire in 1837.

His decision to give up a career as a virtuoso led to strained relations with his father during this time. (Hide extended text) ... (Read all)
