Jean-Joseph-Nicolas-Guillaume Lekeu, belgian composer (Heusy, Verviers, january 20, 1870 - Angers, january 21, 1894). In early age he studied with the village organist, then in Poitiers (where his family lived from 1879). He started to compose music in 1885. From 1888, when he lived in Paris with his family, he studied with G.Vallin and, in 1889, with the great composer and organist César Franck. At the death of Franck, in 1890, he started to take lessons from Vincent D'Indy. He won the second prize of the Prix the Rome in 1891 with the Andromède cantata. He died at the age of 24, caused by typhus.

"The Piano Trio in C minor (for piano, violin and cello) was written in 1890-1891. The first movements were written in an artistic dialogue with his highly regarded teacher, César Franck. But Franck died in November 1890, which led Lekeu into a deep emotional crisis. In April 1991 he then wrote that beneath the title of his piano trio nameless terrors were hidden and that he had been completely disorientated for days after Franck's death. Can we interpret this last emotional sentence, which takes us into a partly archaic world of sound and 'dying', ending in pianissimo, as a lament, a musical epitaph to César Franck? Different, but no less tragic, is the case of the piano quartet, described as devilish by Lekeu. The composer died before he could complete the second movement. He leaves behind an impressive torso, whose third and fourth movements are completely missing, and whose second movement was only completed by d'Indy to the extent that it could be performed in concert.' (Christiane Gaspar-Nebes, from the notes of the disc)
