Charles Delioux

Jean-Charles Delioux (de) Savignac (17 April 1825 – 12 November 1915) was a French composer, a pupil of Halévy and potentially Chopin, who was quite popular in the Paris salons of the nineteenth century.

[3] In 1845, he began his studies at the Paris Conservatory with Fromental Halévy (composition) and Auguste Barbereau (harmony) and won an award ("1er Accessit") in the same year for counterpoint and fugue.

[6] From 1849 he established himself as piano teacher in Paris and was so much sought after that he could support his wider family, after his father had died shortly before.

Delioux's largest work was a comic opera, Yvonne et Loïc (libretto by Michel Carré), produced in 1854 at the Théâtre du Gymnase.

[…] His compositions are distinguished by the frankness of his ideas, the clearness of his exposition, the elegant outline of his melodies and the distinction of his harmonies.")
