Biography

A student at the École Niedermeyer de Paris, Koszul had Camille Saint-Saëns as professor and Gabriel Fauré and Eugène Gigout as for fellow students and friends.

He moved to Roubaix, where he took the direction of the National Conservatory of Music. He encouraged Albert Roussel to undertake an artistic career.

Composer Henri Dutilleux and mathematician Jean-Louis Koszul were his grandsons. Henri Dutilleux, who often recalled his memory, paid tribute to him in 2005 by being the originator of the publication of his correspondence.[2]
