He studied at the Belgian Conservatory and went on to attain success as an Organist and composer.

In 1925, Poot and several of his contemporaries founded 'The Synthetists', a group to rival 'Les Six' in France. They wished to inject dynamism into the conservative Belgian music scene through the composition of modern pieces. Legende for Horn andPiano reflects this, whilst maintaining recognisable musical elements. Poot 's Legende, published in 1958, is in Ternary Form, ending with a fat, allegro coda.

Description These studies are designed to explore beyond the present limits of Horn technique and are meant to form a contemporary extension to the older studies of Kopprasch, Gallay, Maxime-Aphonse etc. They are therefore written to be very challenging - each Etude concentrates on an immediately identifiable problem of technique and presents it at an almost virtuoso level. This should not put the book 'out of reach' - it is clearly set out and good players can start to become excellent players by practicing these Studies perhaps just a passage at a time at first, hence this book's difficulty rating. The complete pieces should then become a standard part of the advanced player's practice. Although French (F) Horn is stipulated, a further challenge is provided by transposing studies once they have been learned! Songlist 48 Etudes For French Horn
