SEGHERS While Delsarte was preparing the way for the old French opera and above all for Gluck's works, another pioneer of musical evolution was working to form the taste of the Parisian public, but with an entirely different power and another effect.

Seghers was the man.

He played a great role and his memory should be honored.
As his name indicates, Seghers was a Belgian.

He started life as a violinist and was one of Baillot's pupils.

His execution was masterly, his tone admirable, and he had a musical intelligence of the first order.
