Composer. His works include a "Serenade" (1927) and the "Symphony in A Major" (1930). But he was far more influential as a critic. He was an ardent champion of new French music, especially that of Francis Poulenc, who became his closest friend. He was fatally hit by a car while walking along a road in Debrecen, Hungary. The shock of Ferroud's death led Poulenc to return to the Catholic Church, and to compose his great sacred works.
