Synopsis

French organist and composer, Marcel Dupr (1886-1971) is also remembered as a significant pedagogue. However, his prominence within the Organ repertoire remains absolute with sublime works, including his Variations Sur Un Nol. Dupr 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. Dupr's Op.20, the Variations Sur Un Nol for Organ wascomposed in 1922. It is based on an old Noel (Pastorale) in D minor. The variations displays contrast through tonality, rhythm, timbre and harmony, among other aspects. Dupr's compositions and didactic works remain important to organists today and his Variations Sur Un Nol is no exception.
