Louis Vierne (1870-1937) studied privately with Cesar Franck and was appointed titulaire organist at Notre-Dame (Paris) in 1900. Numerous concert tours throughout Europe and the USA made him well-known outside France.Vierne?s Organ works are masterpieces of Organ music and are firm favourites in the virtuoso Organ repertoire. In particular Vierne raised the form of the Organ symphony to a stylistic peak.The famous collection of ?Pieces de Fantaisie? comprising 24 fantasy pieces in four volumes (Livres I-IV) has become internationally known.

Freely Composed Organ Works-This performing Urtext edition contains ?free? Organ pieces (i.e. not based on a chorale) and chorale partitas from various source traditions. Owing to doubts about their authenticity they did not appear in the New Bach Edition until the end of 2003 (NBA IV/11). Today however scholars view Bach?s authorship of these pieces either as certain (e.g. the valuable Fantasy in C minor BWV 1121) or at least worthy of serious consideration.Bärenreiter therefore decided to issue them in this separate performance edition. This volume comes in addition to the nine volume edition of Bach?s Organ music (BA 5179).
