The French composer and teacher won the Prix de Rome in 1867 and was a professor at the Conservatoire from 1880, where he was known as a strict conservative. Expected to succeed Théodore Dubois as director of the Conservatoire in 1905, he was at the centre of what became known as "l'affaire Ravel" when he was implicated in an attempt to rig the results of that year's Prix de Rome in favour of his own pupils, at Ravel's expense. Fauré was subsequently appointed to the position instead of Lenepveu (11957)
