Sauzay is mentioned by Hiller as one of Mendelssohn's acquaintances during his stay in Paris in 1830. He was greatly sought after both as a player and a teacher. His publications are not important, and consist of incidental music to ' Georges Dandin ' and ' Le Sicilien,' cleverly written in the style of Lully to suit the date of the pieces ; fantasias and romances ; a PF. t r io ; a string t r io ; songs; Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven; Etude sur le quatuor (Paris, 1861), a disappointing work from the pen of a musician of so much eminence and experience ; L'Ecole de Vaccompagnement (Paris, 1869), a sequel to the foregoing.
