History:
French composer, flautist and music writer.
Born in Lyon on 24 May 1878. He studied with Claude-Paul Taffanel at the Conservatoire de Paris. In 1902, he joined the Société Moderne des Instruments à Vent, and succeeded Georges Barrère as its director in 1905. In 1913, he premiered Claude Debussy's "Syrinx" -originally titled "Flûte de Pan"- which was dedicated to him. He had a stellar career as a concert flautist, enjoying great success in Europe and the Americas. His interest in historical research led him to revive works for the flute from the 17th and 18th centuries; he also wrote about his chosen instrument and contemporary musical life. Fleury contributed to various music magazines and, in Paris, finished the entry on his flute teacher Taffanel for the "Encyclopédie de la musique et Dictionnaire du Conservatoire", edited by Albert Lavignac and Lionel de La Laurencie, and published between 1920 and 1931. He passed away on 10 June 1926 in Paris (France).
