Ignace Gibsone
Guillaume Ignace Gibsone (8 October 1826 - 9 June 1897) was an English concert pianist and composer, born in London of Scottish and French parentage. He lived and performed in Brussels during the 1840s.[1] Many of his compositions for solo piano and voice with piano accompaniment were very popular in the salons of Victorian England, but Gibsone has fallen from favour since then.
