Dupré - Prelude and Fugue in G minor op. 7 no. 3 (with score)

[@federicosavio]

Many years ago Roland Facinelli told me that this Fugue was an improvisation that Dupré wrote down. He was a genius.

[@maniak1768]

Interesting point, indeed! Makes sense, considering that there are films that show him improvise double fugues on spot. And this is essentially the same technique you need for making a cantus firmus-based piece like this. Still an insane and almost inhuman level of counterpoint skill, especially because it is integrated in such a personal and recognizable style of harmony.

[@alcyonecrucis]

Yeah... that fugue ending is pretty epic.

amazing piece

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Rumor has it that Dupre wrote the prelude as a kind of friendly "I can do better than that!" showing off to his tutor, Widor, after hearing Widor's Symphony #5 Toccata.

You’re a wizard Harry (Hagrid voice). Well played!

Wow! You're right 🧙 I couldn't understand this piece. But suddenly with that image on my head everything makes sense.... Weird 😅

[@FabioBadalamentiComposer]

Impressive

M. Castagnet est un de mes organistes préférés qui enregistre trop peu à mon goût. Chez Dupré, il est remarquable. On le sent inspiré, investi. Bref, j'aime.

Unfortunately it could pass for a senior recital program at Podunk College compared to Virgil Fox’s Riverside recording, which is unsurpassed

Scintillating
