I have always been looking for the information of composer of THEO CHARLIER,I' from China,there is little information about THEO CHARLIER,and I can't read French,can you help me?Thanks so much!!!

Theo (Theophile) Charlier (1868 - 1944) was a central musical figure in Belgium. He was one of the first to prefere trumpet instead of cornet (remember Arbans influence at that time). As a performer he was the first to play Brandenburg #2 in modern time (April, 1889).

There is a very good artice in ITG Journal, June 2001, by Rosario Macaluso. You can read it online here:
