Adolphe Deslandres

Adolphe Édouard Marie Deslandres (22 January 1840 – 30 July 1911) was a French composer and organist.

Born in the former village of Batignolles-Monceau [fr], Adolphe Deslandres was the son of Laurent Deslandres, who was for a long time the Maître de chapelle and organist of Église Sainte-Marie des Batignolles [fr].

At the Conservatoire de Paris, he studied counterpoint and fugue with Aimé Leborne and pipe organ with François Benoist.

Deslandres also composed some works for organ, piano (an Air de ballet and Études in staccato), a Scherzo for orchestra, and four Méditations for violin, cello, French horn, harp, organ and double bass.

Georges-Philippe Deslandres (5 May 1849 – 12 October 1875) was a student in the organ class of César Franck at the Conservatoire de Paris.
