French
organist and composer,
Marcel Dupré
(1886-1971) is also
remembered as a
significant pedagogue.
His Complete Study of the
Fugue is an excellent
introduction to the
important technique. The
book is in two parts, the
second giving focus to
elements such as the
subject, the coda,
modulations, the pedal,
and structure, amongst
other aspects. Dupré
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. Dupré's
compositions and didactic
works remain important to
organists today and his
Complete Study of the
Fugue is no
exception.
