French
organist and composer,
Marcel Dupre (1886-1971)
is also remembered as a
significant pedagogue.
His Complete Course in
Organ Improvisation is
for beginners of Organ
improvisation, who have
previously acquired some
Organ technique. The
first volume gives focus
to harmonisation of
scales and chorales,
phrases, cadences,
modulation, and form and
structure, among other
musical aspects. Dupre
studied at the Paris
Conservatoire with Louis
Vierne and Charles-Marie
Widor, where he won
prizes for Piano, Organ
and fugue, as well as the
Grand Prix de Rome. He
was a famous Organ
virtuoso and was able to
perform the entire works
composed for the
instrument by J. S. Bach
from memory. Dupre's
compositions and didactic
works remain important to
organists today and his
Complete Course in Organ
Improvisation is no
exception. .
