Paul Rougnon

[1] His students include Alfred Cortot, Yves Nat, Fernand Oubradous, Noël Gallon, and Henri Mulet.

He composed hundreds of piano pieces, two operas, some chamber music, and also vocal and choral works.

In 1896, under the tenure of Théodore Dubois, the Conservatoire began the practice of charging composers to write contest pieces.

Rougnon began composing works for this purpose, particularly for piano, viola, flute, and trumpet.

Rougnon received a gold medal for his collective works of music education at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris.
