          Étienne Nicolas Méhul (French:[etjɛnnikɔlameyl]; 22 June 1763 – 18 October 1817) was a French composer of the late classical and early romantic periods.

          He was known as "the most important opera composer in France during the Revolution".[1] He was also the first composer to be called a "Romantic".[2] He is known particularly for his operas, written in keeping with the reforms introduced by Christoph Willibald Gluck and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

          Life

          Méhul was born at Givet in Ardennes to Jean-François Méhul, a wine merchant, and his wife Marie-Cécile (née Keuly). His first music lessons came from a blind local organist. When he showed promise, he was sent to study with a German musician and organist, Wilhelm Hanser [de], at the monastery of Lavaldieu, a few miles from Givet.
