Charles-Édouard Lefebvre

Charles-Édouard Lefebvre (19 June 1843 – 8 September 1917) was a French composer.

Lefebvre was born in Paris, the son of painter Charles Lefebvre, and studied with Charles Gounod and Ambroise Thomas at the Paris Conservatoire.

In 1895 he succeeded Benjamin Godard as director of the Paris Conservatoire's chamber music class.

According to Elaine Brody's entry on him in The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians (1980), "In his own words, he worked in pastels rather than oils."

He is buried in Pere Lachaise cemetery (division 18[1]), in Paris.
