Studies for Rhythm 1 - Etüden zum Rhythmus-Georges Dandelot (1895-1975) who was a pupil of Widor Roussel and Dukas achieved posterity only through his educational manuals which seem to enjoy permanent success. Some may regret the fact that his compositions have fallen into oblivion but nobody can deny his tremend?ous talent for musical instruction.
