Composer
and organist, Joseph
Bonnet (1884-1944) is
considered one of the
most major French pipe
organ players. It is no
surprise, therefore, that
his Concert Variations
for Organ are very well
informed. Following his
studies at the Paris
Conservatoire, Bonnet
took over as concert
organist at the
institution. Concert
Variations for Organ was
compiled in 1906, soon
after his graduation. The
work begins with a
helpful index of the
organ registrations and
performance directions.
Concert Variations begins
with a virtuosic,
cadenza-like theme in E
minor. Following this,
four variations are
heard, all containing
contrast in organ sound,
tonality and exploited
melody and rhythm. For
all advanced, aspiring
organists, Bonnet's
Concert Variations is an
essential addition to the
repertoire.
