Léon Clément Doucet (Composer)

Born: 9th April 1895, Brussels, Belgium

Died: 15th October 1950, Brussels, Belgium

Nationality: Belgian

Léon Clément Doucet was a Belgian pianist.

Doucet was born and died in Brussels, Belgium. He studied for a time at the local Conservatoire, where his teacher Arthur De Greef had been a pupil of Franz Liszt.

His formal training was classical, and he traveled to the U.S. Some of his arrangements are still played today, for instance "Chopinata", a jazz tribute to several works by Frédéric Chopin.

After returning to Europe, he became the house pianist at the Parisian cabaret Le Boeuf sur le Toit where he succeeded Jean Wiéner. He and Wiéner formed a piano-duet which lasted from 1924 to 1939.
