sometime before 1868. She died suddenly on 28 November 1916 in
Nice, France. Her
will included a
bequest of to the French government, granted that it be used for performances of orchestral music by French woman composers. She was active as a pianist, composer and teacher. Teaching from Paris, the
Dictionnaire national des contemporains describes her as a "renowned" pianist. The latter source insists she was best known as a composer; her compositions include mainly piano works, but also songs and
chamber music. Many of her works were distributed by the
Société Coopérative des Compositeurs de Musique, but often published "at her own expense". Among her best known works is a Ballade (1914), simultaneously published in both vocal and solo piano variants; a third version, with two additional voices, was published in 1915. The vocal ensemble Para l'Elles noted the work's detailed instructions, and likened the atmospheric choral writing to that of
Debussy and
Ravel. After a period of neglect, Filliaux-Tiger was rediscovered by the research of composer Adélaïde Legras, in the
Bibliothèque nationale de France archives, where many of her works are held. ==List of compositions==
