Alexis-'''Emmanuel Chabrier''' (1841-1894), [[French]] [[composer]] and [[piano|pianist]] considered a precursor to [[ Claude Debussy]] and [[Maurice Ravel]], was a lawyer and bureaucrat who composed part time until into his late thirties. He was greatly influenced by [[Richard Wagner]] in his early years, but friendships with the [[Impressionist]] painter, [[Manet]], the writer, [[Verlaine]] and other composers, including [[Gabriel Faure]], [[Vincent D'Indy]] and [[Ernest Chausson]], helped give his music a colour all his own.  He is known for  his  imaginative orchestration and the lyricism of his piano works. He also had a fine sense for comedy.
