Marguerite Elie Samuel was an American composer and pianist who spent many years in France. She published her music as Mme. L. Samuel.
Samuel was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, to Marie Waller and Paul Adolphe Elie, a violinist. She was a gifted pianist and showed a talent for improvisation at a young age. Her initial public performance was on 25 April 1856, when she was only nine years old. As was common in 19th century New Orleans, Samuel was sent to Paris in 1856 for further education at the Paris Conservatory.
