Background and General Perspectives
(For comments on a specific piece or genre, use the "List of Pieces" above to navigate to that page.)
"The harmonic style throughout is tonal but less conservative than his late recorded improvisations that sound more like Guilmant than Dupré. The complete set makes enchanting practice sessions, excellent teaching pieces, a superb introduction to the music of Marcel Dupré, and just downright lovely music."[1]
