Eugène Ketterer (1831-1870) was a prolific French composer and pianist who was known for his numerous salon arrangements of contemporary opera arias. Ketterer became a student at the Paris Conservatoire in his early youth, where he studied with Antoine François Marmontel. After his graduation until his death in Paris in 1870, he appeared constantly as a pianist winning wide repute for his fantasies and drawing-room pieces, of which he wrote a large number, but only a few of which are still in the repertoire. The list of Ketterer's works gives an excellent overview on the world of opera in France at the time, as many of these works are transcriptions of popular opera arias, many still famous today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - A method to find scores: - My donation link to keep the channel growing: Thanks for listening :-)
