Robert Planquette

Robert Jean Julien Planquette ( born March 31, 1848 in Paris, † January 28, 1903 ) was a French composer of music use, especially of operettas.

Little is known about his childhood and youth, so in addition to the birth date listed above occasionally July 31, 1850 called. After visiting the Paris Conservatory he earned his living by preparing piano reductions of at that time popular operettas. Besides he composed. After the war of 1870/1871 he began to compose little one-act operettas which have been performed in concert cafés. Inspired by the autogenous success, he created nearly 20 full-length works. Among his most famous operettas one next to Rip - Rip the piece premiered in 1877 The Bells of Corneville, and the song Le Sambre et Meuse régiment de, which was later arranged by Joseph Rauski the military march. His contemporaries describe today only very rarely performed works Planquettes as dainty, graceful, graceful and serene, and of good quality craftsmanship.
