Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Claude Arrieu (born Paris, November 30, 1903 - died Paris, March 7, 1990) was a prolific French composer. Claude Arrieu was a classically trained musician from an early age. She became particularly interested in works by Bach and Mozart, and later, Igor Stravinsky. However, Gabriel Faur, Claude Debussy, and Maurice Ravel provided her the most inspiration. Dreaming of a career as a virtuoso, she entered the Conservatoire de Paris in 1924. She became a piano student of Marguerite Long and took classes from Georges Caussade, No l Gallon, Jean Roger-Ducasse and Paul Dukas. In 1932, she received first prize for composition.
