More DescriptionAlphonse Meurger, also known as Meurger le jeune, active in the 1810s and 1820s in the north of France and in Belgium, was well known as an organist, music teacher, music publisher and especially as the composer of a large number of light songs with guitar accompaniment. This study sketches an outline of the musician's life and offers a first inventory of his compositions.
