The Louis Pradher Tradition

Louis Pradher, a professor at the Paris and Toulouse conservatories, embodied foundational principles of French pianism, which he conveyed to his pupils Henri Herz, teacher of Marie Jaëll, and Félix Le Couppey. The latter had far ranging influence through the Paris Conservatory and Sophie Chéné.
