Louis Stanislas Xavier Verroust (10 May 1814 – 9 or 11 April 1863) was a French composer and oboist. Biographical sketch Verroust was born in Hazebrouck. He received a second prize in Gustave Vogt's class in oboe in 1833, followed by a first prize in the next year. Also a fine violinist, he became second violinist in the orchestra of the Palais-Royal in 1831. He taught oboe at the Conservatoire de Paris from 1853 to 1860, succeeding Gustave Vogt in this position and preceding Charles Triébert. Verroust's published compositions, many of which included parts for oboe, numbered around 85 (Op. 85, his next-to-last concert solo, was published posthumously, possibly Op. 86 as well). He died on either 9 or 11 April 1863, also in Hazebrouck.
