Léonie Tonel

Léonie Antoinette Tonel (20 April 1828 – 14 January 1886) was a French pianist and composer.

Tonel studied music at the Paris Conservatory, where the jury was so impressed by her performance that they unanimously awarded her a certificate without a competitive exam. In 1855, La Presse wrote, "Mlle Léonie Tonèl will be heard at the Exposition [Universelle des produits de l'Agriculture, de l'Industrie et des Beaux-Arts de Paris 1855] on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, from 2 PM until 5 PM, on the excellent piano from the house of A. Bord.".
