[F. = It. conservatorio, L. (and Ger.) conservatorium: see conservatory n. (sense 7).]
A public establishment (in France, Germany or Italy) for special instruction in music and declamation. (The French form of the word is commonly used in England in speaking not only of the Conservatoire of Paris, but also, with less propriety, of the Conservatorium of Leipzig, and the Conservatorios of Italy, and is even sometimes assumed as the name of musical schools in England. In the U.S. the anglicized form conservatory is used.)
For the origin of the name see conservatory n. 7. The first Conservatorio was established at Naples in 1537. The Conservatoire de Musique, or free school of Music, in Paris, was established by the National Convention in 1795; the Conservatorium of Leipzig was founded through the exertions of Mendelssohn in 1843.
