Caroline Samuel (1 November 1822 – 15 March 1851) was a Belgian composer, pianist, and the first teacher of her brother, composer Adolphe Samuel.[1][2][3]
Samuel was born into a musical family in Liege, Belgium. Although only two years older than her brother Adolphe, she was his first music teacher. Samuel herself studied with Joseph Daussoigne-Mehul at the Royal Conservatory of Liege, where she won several prizes: second prize for piano in 1833; first prize for piano in 1835; and first prize for harmony in 1836.[1]
Before dying prematurely at age 29, Samuel earned money to support her mother and sisters by performing on piano. Her compositions were published by Lahou (Brussels).[1]
