ALKAN, CHARLES HENRI VALENTIN MORHANGE (1813-1888)

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 686 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AJA-ALL
ALKAN, CHARLES HENRI VALENTIN MORHANGE (1813-1888) ,
French
  musical composer, was
born
  and died in Paris.
Alkan
  was his nom de guerre. Admitted to the Conservatoire of Paris in his
sixth
  year, he had a distinguished career there until 1830. He visited London in 1833, after which he settled in Paris as a
pianoforte
  teacher till his death. He is important as the composer of a large number of
pianoforte
  etudes, embodying the most extravagant technical difficulties. His invention was not
modern
  enough to secure for these
works
  that attention which they deserve as representing a pianoforte technique and sense of effect in some respects more advanced even than that of
Liszt
 , though lacking
Liszt
 's
economy
  and tact.
