Adolphe Claire Le Carpentier (born February 17, 1809 in Paris , † July 14, 1869 there ) was a French music teacher and composer.
Le Carpentier, son of a violin teacher who had published a Méthode de violon , began his training at the Conservatoire de Paris in 1818 . He was a student of Jean-François Lesueur and Henri Montan Berton and won the premier Second Grand Prix de Rome in 1833 with the cantata Le Contrebandier espagnol .
Until his death in Paris he worked as a highly respected teacher of harmony and piano - his contemporaries spoke of a Méthode Le Carpentier for piano lessons. In addition to several music-theoretical writings and works for piano lessons, Le Carpentier mainly wrote bagatelles and fantasies about motifs from contemporary operas, which enjoyed great popularity.
