Pierre de Bréville was a French composer born in Nancy in 1861 who made his career in Paris during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, composing primarily in the late Romantic and early modern classical traditions. His music combines French melodic lyricism with modal and chromatic harmonic elements, and his output of songs, choral works, operas, instrumental and chamber pieces engaged with the cultural currents of the fin-de-siècle and post-Belle Époque French musical scene.
