Description
Only the two cycles, “Prelude, Choral and Fuge” and “Prelude, Aria and Finale”, are widely known to the piano player. Nevertheless Cesar Franck left two books of compositions for the Harmonium, which sound equally well on the piano. Neither book was issued during the lifetime of the composer, and his son, in writing about them, said that they were written to illustrate advice given to a pupil, a village organist, and were composed between the years 1858 and 1863.
