Early life

Savelli was born in Mulhouse, Alsace. His mother was Marie-Louise Schreyer, and his father was Gratien Savelli. His mother came from a musical family of traveling musicians who performed in Eastern Europe, who have performed in front of the Imperial Court of Russia.^{[citation needed]}

At the age of 8, Savelli was admitted to the National Conservatory of Music and Dramatic Art of Mulhouse. He later studied at the National Conservatory of Music (Basel), winning a first prize award at the age of 12.^{[citation needed]} After graduating from the Basel conservatory, he studied under pianist Pierre Sancan,^[8] and was admitted to the Conservatoire National Superieur de Musique in Paris (CNSMD).^[9][10]

Career

Following a series of concerts throughout the world, Savelli momentarily stopped his career for family reasons.^[11][12] It was during this time that he devoted himself to the influence of music on people, primarily on those who suffer.^[13][14]

He embodies his research with the help of doctors, by the establishment of an emotional level, usable by anyone other than the musicians.^[15] During and after 2012, Jean Marc Savelli prepared his coming back of concerts devoted to Beethoven-Chopin-Liszt.^{[citation needed]} He was expected back on the scene in 2013.^{[citation needed]}

In 2013, he released an original video clip, "Corse Classique", dedicated to Beethoven, Liszt, and Chopin.^[16] This video was voted the best YouTube video about Beethoven by musicsense.org for the interpretation of the Piano Sonata No. 8 ("Pathétique").^[17]

In 2014 he released the album "Classical Recital" under the Americal label "Famous Records Corp".^[18][19]
