Adolphe Jullien

His grandfather Bernard Jullien (1752–1826), was a prominent professor, while his father Marcel Bernard Jullien (1798–1881), was a distinguished teacher and linguist and a major contributor to the Dictionary of Émile Littré.

Jullien published numerous books and articles on a wide variety of topics, primarily music, and was actively involved in the controversy over the role and influence of Wagner's music in late nineteenth century France.

Adolphe Jullien was educated at the Lycée Charlemagne in Paris, where he received a degree in law.

He studied music with the composer Émile Bienaimé, at the time a retired professor at the Conservatoire de Paris.
