(Jean Baptiste) Charles Dancla (19 December 1817 � 10 October 1907) was a French
violinist, composer and teacher.
Biography[edit]
Dancla was born in Bagn�res-de-Bigorre. When he was nine years old, violinist
Pierre Rode in Bordeaux heard his music; he was so impressed that he sent a
recommendation letter to Pierre Baillot, Luigi Cherubini and Rodolphe Kreutzer.
Thus Dancla went to the Paris Conservatory and studied with Baillot for violin and
Fromental Hal�vy for composition. He was strongly influenced by Niccol� Paganini,
whom he heard in 1830, as well as by Henri Vieuxtemps. From 1835 onward Dancla was
solo violinist in the Paris Op�ra, and shortly thereafter he became concert master.
In 1857 he was made a professor at the Paris Conservatory where he was a successful
teacher for over 35 years. He died in Tunis.
His two brothers were Arnaud Dancla (1819�1862), cellist and author of a
considerable cello teaching method, and Leopold Dancla (1822�1895), violinist and
composer of chamber music.
Works[edit]
