Description
Louis Vierne (1870-1937) studied privately with César Franck and was appointed titulaire organist at Notre-Dame (Paris) in 1900. Numerous concert tours throughout Europe and the USA made him world famous. in particular, Vierne raised the form of the organ symphony to a new height.
The two books of 24 ‘Pièces en style libre pour orgue ou harmonium' (Livre I-II) are shorter and technically easier than the 24 ‘Pièces de fantaisie en quatre suites'.
These "miniatures", more meditative in character, are equally suitable for organ teaching or concert use.
