Yvette Horner (Tarbes, France, 22 September 1922 - 11 June 2018) was a French musette accordionist. Horner studied music at the Conservatory of Tarbes and Toulouse Conservatoire where, aged 11, she won a 1st prize for piano. Her mother forced her to change the instrument to the accordion, saying "there are none accordionist women and there you'll get a situation." Young Yvette begins to perform in casinos and continues her education in Paris where she studied with Robert Breard. <a href="https
