Édouard-Marie-Ernest Deldevez (May 31, 1817 – November 6, 1897) was a French violinist, conductor at important Parisian musical institutions, composer, and music teacher.〔R. J. Stove - ''César Franck: His Life and Times'' Page 62 2011 "Édouard Deldevez— who later became a prominent conductor of Conservatoire concerts"〕 ==Biography== Édouard Deldevez was born and died in Paris, France. He won many prizes as a violinist. He progressed from violinist at the Paris Opera to conductor.〔Bruce R. Schueneman, William Emmett Studwell -''Minor Ballet Composers: Biographical Sketches'' 1997 Page 31 "DELDEVEZ, Edouard-Marie-Ernest, French composer, was born in Paris on May 31, ... He served as assistant conductor or conductor of both the Paris Opera (1859-1877) and the Societe des Concerts du ..."〕 He was principal conductor of the Orchestre de la Société des Concerts du Conservatoire from 1872 to 1885. At the Paris Opéra-Comique Deldevez conducted the revival of ''La Fille du Regiment'' (with Marie Cabel) in 1857, ''Rose et Colas'' (first performance at the theatre, as well as 50th performance in 1862), the premiere of ''Lalla-Roukh'' on 12 May 1862, the first production at the Salle Favart of ''La Servante Maîtresse'' on 12 August 1862 (Galli-Marié’s debut at the house), runs of ''La dame blanche'' (including the 1,000th performance there in December 1862), ''Le pré aux clercs'', ''Fra Diavolo'' (including the 500th performance in March 1863), and a revival of ''Joseph'' in 1866.〔Wolff, Stéphane. ''Un demi-siècle d'Opéra-Comique (1900–1950).'' André Bonne, Paris, 1953.〕 At the Paris Opera, Deldevez conducted ''La Juive'' at the opening night of the Palais Garnier in 1875, and the premiere of Massenet's ''Le roi de Lahore'' in 1877, along with revivals of ''La Favorite'', ''Guillaume Tell'', ''Hamlet'', ''Les Huguenots'', ''Le Prophète'' and ''Robert le Diable''. He became part of a group of musicians centred on François Sudre (1787 - 1864) who were attempting to develop a way of transmitting language through music. Sudre trained Deldevez and Charles Larsonneur to play and interpret his alphabet. A given note would represent a word or a letter of the alphabet. The trio troured France, answering questions from the audience using Sudre's violin. A military application quickly presented itself. A bugler on a battlefield could transmit orders to a regiment by playing an appropriate tune. This promising hypothesis came to nothing because the system was too vulnerable to wind and weather. Clearly grasping at straws, Sudre then offered the military a set of musical cannons, but they declined the suggestion. In 1829 Sudre began to develop the system that is now known as the Do Re Mi method of notating music. In 1867 Deldevez published "Notation de la musique classique." He wrote many other books and was awarded the Legion d'Honneur in 1874. He published his memoires in 1890.〔Peter Bloom ''Music in Paris in the eighteen-thirties'' 1987 "Édouard Deldevez, Mes mémoires (Le Puy, 1890)"〕 Some confusion exists concerning his name, which is occasionally misclassified as "Ernest," though not in reliable sources of the period. One source records the name as "Edmé Édouard Deldevez."〔H. Robert Cohen, Yves Gérard Hector Berlioz La critique musicale, 1823-1863 2008 p36〕 The standard French edition of his musicological works reedited in 1998 and 2005 by Jean-Philippe Navarre gives only "Édouard-Marie-Ernest Deldevez."〔Jean-Philippe Navarre editions of (five occurrences "Édouard-Marie-Ernest Deldevez." )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Édouard Deldevez」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
