 Adrien Francios Servais, Cellist (Part One)
The name of Adrien Servais indicates the blossoming of the Belgian violoncello school, assumed to be founded by the famous French violoncellist Nicolas Joseph Platel (1777-1835), the pupil of Jean Louis Duport and Jacque Michel Lamare.
Adrien Francois Servais was born on June 6, 1807 in the Belgian town of Hal near Brussels.
Very early the young Adrien began to study violin, but at the age of twelve after hearing the violoncellist Platel play, he promptly entered his class at the Royal music school in Brussels, and a year later was awarded the first prize.

Having served in the American War of Independence under Rochambeau, he was sent in 1789 as deputy to the States-General by the nobles of the bailliage of Péronne.
In the Constituent Assembly he formed with Barnave and Adrien Duport a "Triumvirate," which controlled a group of about forty deputies forming the advanced left of the Assembly.
He presented a famous report in the Constituent Assembly on the organization of the army, but is better known by his eloquent speech on February 28, 1791, at the Jacobin Club, against Honoré Mirabeau, whose relations with the court were beginning to be suspected, and who was a personal enemy of Lameth.
