Paul Gilbert Langevin is a musicologist, music critic and French physical chemist born in Boulogne-Billancourt 5 July 1933 and died in Paris on 4 July 1986.[1][2]
Early Life
He was the son of French physicist Paul Langevin[3] (1872-1946) and Eliane Montel[4] (1898-1992), associate assistant at the Faculty of Science of the University of Paris.
Paul Gilbert Langevin is first student at the School of Industrial Physics and Chemistry of the City of Paris,[5] which his father was the director from 1925 to 1946. Then he completed his scientific training at the Sorbonne and the Pierre and Marie Curie University, a graduate degree in physical chemistry under the direction of René Freymann,[6] who became a friend. He is also friends with the physicist Herbert Überall,[7] who spent his thesis under the direction of Hans Bethe and his wife, Reyna Tosta.
But it is classical music that quickly became his passion especially following the radio listening to Bruckner symphonies in his teens and meets the young prodigy conductor Roberto Benzi.[8] After his scientific training, he decided to do a PhD at the University of Vincennes under the direction of Daniel Charles on Austrian music of the 19th century and especially on Anton Bruckner and the period he calls ethnoromantisme.
