Georges Bizet<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Georges Bizet was a French Romantic composer born in Paris on 25th October 1838. His most famed composition was the opera Carmen which he wrote in his last years. We have several arrangements of his Habanera<\/a> from the opera for different instruments such as clarinet<\/a> or violin<\/a>. See all<\/a> of our Bizet sheet music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was an only child. His father, Adolphe was a singing teacher, and his mother was a pianist who was Georges’s first music teacher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education and Life<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bizet was offered a place at the Paris Conservatoire<\/a> at the age of nine, evading the minimum age requirement of ten. Here he won many awards for the piano and also achieved joint first prize in an opera competition organised by Jacques Offenbach<\/a>. Afterward, he regularly got invited to Offenbach’s parties where he met Gioachimo Rossini <\/a>whose music he admired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charles Gounod <\/a>influenced Bizet’s music and his first symphony at the age of seventeen showed similarities to Gounod\u2019s work. He became friends with Camille Saint Sa\u00ebns<\/a> who was another of Gounod’s <\/strong>students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After winning the Prix de Rome<\/a> in 1857 Bizet gained a financial grant for five years spending his time in Rome, Germany, and Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 1869 he married Geni\u00e8ve Hal\u00e9vy and they had one son, Jacques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bizet was a heavy smoker and died of a heart attack at the age of just thirty-six. After his death, most of his works were abandoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
