Ernest Fanelli

Fanelli was supported by Judith Gautier, the daughter of Theophile Gautier, whose novel The Romance of the Mummy had inspired the Tableaux Symphoniques.

Fanelli's most notable composition, Tableaux Symphoniques d'apres le Roman de la Momie was a symphonic poem in a series of "tableaux" illustrating the novel The Romance of the Mummy by Théophile Gautier.

Ezra Pound recalls an episode in which he was sitting in a restaurant listening to Fanelli play a composition on the piano when Debussy walked in.
