Abstract

The pianist and composer Eugénie-Victorine-Jeanne Alombert once held a notable position in Parisian cultural life; the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris has more than a dozen of her compositions, almost all of them digitized and available to the world through the Gallica website. Her dates of birth and death are unknown; she was probably born between 1860 and 1870, and can be documented until 1906. Her teachers included Mary Moll and Pompilio Sudessi; those performing her works included Célestin Bourdeau and (probably) Nicolas Gervasio.
