Impromptu (Op. 54)

from Piѐces de Fantaisie, Troisiѐme Suite by Louis Vierne

Background

• Dedicated to André Marchal - Vierne wrote the following to him, "I just finished my 24 Piѐces de Fantaisie...I took the liberty of putting your name at the top of one of them [the Impromptu]. Do you accept the dedication? In doing this I wanted first to express my highest admiration of your great talent, then, to recognize by an abiding homage the extreme kindness with which you have always supported my music and myself whenever you could. Above all, I am sensitive to loyalty."
