According to Wikipedia, Andriessen was most noted for his improvisational skills and for his influence in "renewing" Catholic liturgical music in the Netherlands. His compositional style was strongly influenced by French idioms; according to Corliss Arnold, he tended to write manual configurations over pedal themes, and utilized harmonies similar to those of Louis Vierne. Arnold says that Andriessen's ''Toccata'' and his ''Premier Choral'' are his most well-known works.
