The Apaches (Les Apaches) was a group of French musicians, writers and artists which formed around 1900. Members of the group included: * Edouard Benedictus, painter and composer * M.D. Calvocoressi, writer and music critic * Maurice Delage, composer * Léon-Paul Fargue, poet * Lucien Garban, publisher * Désiré-Emile Inghelbrecht, conductor * Pierre Haour * Gomez de Riquet * Tristan Klingsor, poet, painter, art theorist * Maurice Ravel, composer and pianist * Florent Schmitt, composer * Paul Sordes, painter * Ricardo Viñes, pianist * Emile Vuillermoz, music critic The name was taken up by the group after inadvertently bumping into a newspaper seller who exclaimed "Attention les apaches". They soon adapted the name, meaning hooligans. Their most distinguished member, Ravel, suggested that they adopt the first melody of the Borodin 2nd Symphony as their theme, an idea to which they all agreed. The group met each Saturday, most often at the home of Sordes; alternately, they would meet at that of Klingsor. ==References== # Spiers, John.
