Léon Gastinel

Léon Gastinel (15 August 1823 – 18 October 1906) was a French composer.

Career

He attended the Paris Conservatoire where he studied with Fromental Halévy and was awarded the Grand Prix de Rome in 1846 for his cantata Valasquez. While relatively unknown today, Gastinel wrote two complete masses, two symphonies and four oratorios, and chamber music including at least two string sextets.[1] He was most prolific, however, in his works for the stage, which include the ballet Le Rêve (1890, chor. Joseph Hansen, Paris Opera) and the operas Le Miroir (1853), L'Opéra aux fenêtres (1857) and Titus et Bérénice (1860).

gollark: I mean, at the very least it's documented in the code, with no comments.
gollark: Yes. This is documented somewhere maybe.
gollark: You just feed it some context, and the question, and then it something something matrix multiplication, and then it does postprocessing to turn the output into a span in the original text, and answers come out.
gollark: It doesn't do training. That would be *unusably* slow.
gollark: However, if I actually had GPUs, I would be able to use bigger, more accurate models, and feed them entire Wikipedia pages.
