Eugène Walckiers (b. July 22nd, 1793 in Avesnes-sur-Helpe in French Flanders; d. September 1st, 1866 in Paris) was a French flutist and composer.



Walckiers studied under Jean-Louis Tulou in Paris, where he also met Henri Brod, Gioacchino Rossini and Anton Reicha, with whom he studied. They valued his talent and effort. Jean-Louis Tulou also influenced Walckiers.



His first compositions were works for the flute. After 1829 he also wrote for the piano, influenced by Friedrich Kalkbrenner, Sigismund Thalberg and Heinrich Wilhelm Marchand. With all of them he worked on a piece for the flute and piano.



Walckiers wrote 19 solo works, 113 duos, 19 trios and 13 quartets for the flute. He also wrote music for string quartets and piano quintets as well as some choral works.



His works were all published during his lifetime. Some first editions can be found in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris.
