Emmanuel Chabrier (18 January 1841 – 13 September 1894) was a French composer and pianist who spent much of his life as a civil servant.
My Way
Denis Arnold and Roger Nichols write that Chabrier's lack of a formal musical education at one of the major conservatoires allowed him the freedom to "bypass the normal paths of French music of the 1860s, and to explore a new harmonic idiom and especially a novel way of writing for the piano". – Wikipedia
It’s sometimes true that amateurs
Have freedom from parameters
That in the course of training are
Instilled at the Conservatoire.
Chabrier was one of those
Who, tutored by the ones he chose,
Was free from shackles appertaining
To those with academic training.
