Who is Jules Dukas?

Dukas was born in Paris, the second son in a Jewish family of three children. His father, Jules Dukas, was a banker, and his mother, Eugénie, was a capable pianist. When Dukas was five years old, his mother died giving birth to her third child, Marguerite-Lucie.

What is Paul Dukas best known for?

He also contributed musical criticism to several Paris papers, and his collected writings, Les Écrits de Paul Dukas sur la musique (1948), include some of the best essays ever published on Jean-Philippe Rameau, Christoph Gluck, and Hector Berlioz.

Was Dukas a Wagnerian or anti-Wagnerian?

Later, D’Indy’s unreserved admiration for Wagner was just as alien to Dukas as Debussy’s opposing position.
