Leonie Tonel

Léonie Antoinette Tonel (20 April 1828 – 14 January 1886) was a French pianist and composer.

Tonel studied music at the Paris Conservatory, where the jury was so impressed by her performance that they unanimously awarded her a certificate without a competitive exam. In 1855, La Presse wrote, "Mlle Léonie Tonèl will be heard at the Exposition [Universelle des produits de l'Agriculture, de l'Industrie et des Beaux-Arts de Paris 1855] on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, from 2 PM until 5 PM, on the excellent piano from the house of A. Bord.".

Tonel composed works for piano in many styles, which were published in Europe and America by Duncan Davison & Co., G. Schirmer Inc., J. L. Peters, Oliver Ditson, and Schott Music. Many of Tonel's individual compositions were included in collections. There were some discrepancies in opus numbers between her European and American publishers, noted below. Her compositions for piano, using opus numbers through 55, included:
