Eugène Ysaÿe (16 July 1858 – 12 May 1931) was a Belgian violinist, composer and conductor. He was regarded as "The King of the Violin", or, as Nathan Milstein put it, the "tsar". As a violinist, Ysaÿe was a great interpreter of late Romantic and early modern composers and also was admired for his Bach and Beethoven interpretations. His technique was brilliant and finely honed, and in this respect he is the first modern violinist, whose technique was without the shortcomings of some earlier artists. As a composer, his most famous work is the six Sonatas for Solo Violin and  eight Poèmes for various instruments.

Guillaume Lekeu (20 January 1870 – 21 January 1894) was a Belgian composer. He studied with César Franck and Vincent d'Indy, and won second prize in the 1891 Belgian Prix de Rome. Lekeu contracted typhoid fever in October 1893 and died in 1894. He composed about 50 works, and left a number of unfinished compositions at the time of his death. His style, prophetic of early-20th-century avant-garde French composers like Satie and Milhaud, was influenced by Franck, Wagner and Beethoven. In general, Lekeu is regarded as a highly talented composer whose death cut short a promising career.
