Description
Dubois Complete Organ Works Volumes I-VI (special price)
For contents see individual volumes
Théodore Dubois (1837–1924) was a conductor, organist, teacher, and one of the leading Parisian composers of the 19th century. His contemporaries frequently compared him to Delibes, Widor and Lalo. Yet he rarely turned to the musical language of his age, writing instead in a vein that reveals influences from Mendelssohn, Weber, Gounod, and the dramatic style of Berlioz. Our edition is the first to present his organ music in an Urtext performance edition.
Besides a detailed critical commentary in German, English, and French, the volumes also contains facsimiles, a catalogue of sources and a detailed foreword which contains a biography of the composer and sheds light on questions relating to the instrument and performance practice.
– First complete Urtext edition now comes to a close
