Albert Roussel is one of the most famous French musicians. The composing        of Albert Roussel got off with a (n)           start, but received one of its biggest successes from a lie.
At the age of eight, Roussel lost his parents and he had to live with his grandfather. He built on the music learned from his mother by reading through the family music       and playing classics and popular songs on the    .
Three years later, Roussel was taken in by his mother’s sister. She helped young Albert to continue to       the professional piano courses. The summer vacations at their beach house added a second love to Rouseel’s life—the sea. He studied to be a navel (海军)man,       still spared much time to study music.

When Roussel’s friend       with the composition , he reported to Roussel and other people that Colonne advised Roussel to give up his naval career and devote his life to music.
