Alexandre Jean Albert Lavignac (21 January 184628 May 1916) was a French music scholar, known for his essays on theory, and a minor composer. ==Biography== Lavignac was born in Paris and studied with Antoine François Marmontel, François Benoist and Ambroise Thomas at the Conservatoire de Paris, where later he taught harmony. Among his pupils were Henri Casadesus, Claude Debussy, Vincent d'Indy, Amédée Gastoué, Philipp Jarnach, Henri O'Kelly, Gabriel Pierné, and Florent Schmitt. In March 1864, at the age of eighteen, he conducted from the harmonium the private premiere of Gioachino Rossini's ''Petite messe solennelle''. His condensed work, ''La Musique et les Musiciens'', an overview of musical grammar and materials, continued to be reprinted years after his death. In it he characterised the particular characteristics of instruments〔"The timbre of the trombone is in its nature majestic and imposing. It is sufficiently powerful to dominate a whole orchestra and produces an impression of superhuman power ... it can become terrible ... or mournful and full of dismay: or it may have the serenity of the organ ... It is a superb instrument of lofty dramatic power, which should be reserved for great occasions."〕 and of each key,〔page 424〕 somewhat in the way Berlioz and Gevaert (''Traité d'orchestration'', Gand, 1863, p. 189) had done: Major keys: *C-sharp major: ?
