Jules Demersseman was born on January 9, 1833 in Hondschoote, a small town in the north of France
now near the border of Belgium. He entered the Paris Conservatory in 1844 in the class of Jean-Louis
Tulou and won a first prize in flute in 1845. Demersseman had a career as a pedogogue and soloist, often
performing his own compositions. A close friend of Adolphe Sax, he wrote some of the first works ever
written for the saxophone, as well as for the saxhorn and for Sax‘s valved trombone, most of which were
published by Sax himself.. Demersseman died in Paris on December 1, 1866 at the age of 33.
The thème of this set of variations was probably originally written by the 19th century Flute Virtuosos
Paul-Agricole Génin (although it may also be of traditional original) and was used as a subject for variations
by such composers as Bosch, Liszt and Arban, among others. Demersseman wrote a number of versions of
this work, including an orchestration for wind band.
