INDY, Paul Marie Théodore Vincent d', born in Paris, March 27, 1851, studied for three years under Diémer, attended Marmontel's class, and learnt harmony and the elements of composition with Lavignac. He then, without having learnt counterpoint or fugue, undertook to write a grand opera, ‘Les Burgraves,’ which was not finished, and a quartet for piano and strings, which was submitted to César Franck in the hope of overcoming the objections to the musical profession which were expressed by his family. Franck, recognising much promise in the work, recommended the presumptuous youth to study composition seriously. In 1873 d'Indy, who was now a first-rate pianist, entered Franck's organ class at the Conservatoire, where he obtained a second accessit in 1874, and a first in the following year. In 1875 he became chorusmaster under Colonne, and in order to obtain experience of orchestral detail, took the position of second drummer, which he retained for three years, at the end of which time he began to devote himself entirely to composition. He has since been extremely helpful in organizing Lamoureux's concerts and in directing the rehearsals, which have led to such fine results as the performance of ‘Lohengrin.’
