Jane Vieu

[2] Vieu studied composition with Jules Massenet, singing with Marie Caroline Miolan-Carvalho, and counterpoint and fugue with André Gedalge.

She gained recognition thanks to her operetta Madame Tallien (1902), and because of her fairy tale La belle au bois dormant (1902), the first performance of which took place at the Théâtre des Mathurins.

[3] Other successful titles of her hand are Au bal de Flore, Les Petites entravées (1911), and Aladin, ombres chinoises (1904).

[4] Vieu published about 100 works, some under her pseudonym Pierre Valette, including orchestral, chamber, piano, and operas.

[6] She operated a publishing company with her presumed husband[5] Maurice Vieu between 1907 and 1925.
