Raoul Bardac (30 March 1881 – 30 July 1950) was a French classical composer and pianist.[1]

Biography

Born in Paris in 1881, Bardac was Emma Bardac's son and became Claude Debussy's stepson after the marriage of the latter to his mother.[2] He is the brother of Hélène Bardac,[3] known as Dolly, who became Madame Gaston de Tinan[4] and until her death in 1985, the beneficiary of Debussy's work.[5]

Bardac inherited Debussy's Blüthner piano and took it to Meyssac when he retired. This piano was acquired by the Musée Labenche [fr] at Brive-la-Gaillarde in 1989.[6]

Bardac died in Meyssac at the age of 69.
