Jean Wiener

Jean Wiener (19 March 1896, Paris - 8 June 1982, Paris) was a French pianist and composer.

Life

Jean Wiener was trained at the Conservatoire in Paris, where he studied alongside Darius Milhaud, and worked with Érik Satie; he had already embarked on a career as concert impresario, composer and pianist when in 1924 a chance encounter with Clément Doucet brought him into the world of popular music. They found fame in the music halls of Europe as a piano duet, under the name 'Wiener et Doucet' in which they performed classical music, hot dance and jazz. After the end of the war in 1945, Wiener fully devoted himself to composition, notably film music (working on more than 300), as well as the opening theme music for ORTF's film history programme "Histoire sans parole" (History without words).

His daughter Élisabeth Wiener is an actress, singer and singer-songwriter.

Jean Wiener published his memoirs in 1978 as "Allegro Appassionato".
