French Romantic composer Emmanuel Chabrier (1841-1894) took piano lessons as a child but entered law school and then the Ministry of the Interior. He composed and studied music on the side, visiting with the likes of Fauré, Saint-Saëns and Duparc. Chabrier later became a full-time composer, producing such diverse works as Pièces pittoresques for piano, Rhapsody España for orchestra, and operas including Gwendoline and Le Roi malgré lui.
