Marcel Landowski (18 February 1915 - 23 December 1999) was a French composer, biographer and arts administrator. Born at Pont-l'Abbé, Finistère, Brittany, he was the son of French sculptor Paul Landowski and great-grandson of the composer Henri Vieuxtemps. As an infant he showed early musical promise, and studied piano under Marguerite Long. He entered the Paris Conservatoire in 1935 where one of his teachers was Pierre Monteux. Landowski's greatest musical influence was Arthur Honegger. <a hre
