A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Ketterer, Eugène

by J. A. Fuller-Maitland

KETTERER, Eugène, born at Rouen in 1831, entered the Paris Conservatoire, obtaining a second prize for solfège in 1847, and a premier accessit in 1852, under Marinontel. From that time until his death, which took place during the siege of Paris, Dec. 18, 1870, he appeared constantly as a pianist, and wrote multitudes of brilliant fantasias and drawing-room pieces, which obtained an immense and ephemeral popularity.
