About Louis Gregh

Lived 1843 – 1915 (aged 71). Louis Gregh was a French composer and editor.

Louis Charles Félix François Gregh (16 March 1843 – 21 January 1915) was a French composer, conductor and music publisher.

Life Gregh was born in Philippeville, now Skikda, Algeria, on 16 March 1843. He grew by acquiring, by auction, parts of the dissolved publishers Léon Escudier (1882), Egrot (1884), and Jochem (1899). He was also the French representative of the publishers Litolff and Universal Edition. His business was quite successful, and he only gave up in old age in 1907, when he sold it to Rouart, which in turn was taken over by Salabert in 1953.
