Piece pour Grand Orgue | César Franck (1822-1890), Arr. Louis Vierne (1870-1937)

A short but beautiful gentle French Romantic piece written in F minor by Maestro Franck, arranged by Maestro Vierne. I think that is an appropriate combination because the style from this piece is a bit Franck and a bit Vierne. The original piece is a Verset from “Cinq Pieces pour Harmonium” from César Franck. I hope you like my interpretation and choice or registration. Let me know!
Ps… for the critics… I played the piece full legato but the pipes from the solo voice that I’ve used (Klarinet) have a slight delay.
For the best listening experience, I recommend using headphones, earbuds, or a hi-fi set. The sound dynamics of the pipe organ are truly remarkable and can be fully appreciated with high-quality audio equipment.
Played with the 1924 Steinmeyer organ, Landau, St. Maria, Germany (Hauptwerk)

I made a typo in the title! Of course it must be Louis Vierne instead of Louise!

Speaking Franck-ly, you'Vierned the highest compliments for this performance! Yes -- registration, tempo, articulation -- all well-matched and suited for this piece. It definitely sounds like a harmonium. To overcome the slight delay in the Klarinet (or any stop, for that matter) one needs to press the keys slightly in advance so that the sound arrives on time. In college, our auditorium instrument had a delay of almost a full second which required a considerably different touch than what we used in the practice rooms where the pipes were about 3 feet from our faces.

Thanks! Regarding the stop… you are right if using a real organ. In this case the note starts at the right time but needs a short moment to build up. If I play the note a bit early it will become mud making. It probably has to do with the combo stop/tremulant. But I still can live with it. :-)

Interesting that composers of the same school (early and later) arrange works. A nice work!

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Yes! Agree!

[@philippelegargean5120]

Hello Rien. I didn't know this Verset. I like your registration. Be careful it's not "Louise Vierne" but "Louis Vierne"...

[@RienSchalkwijk]

Thanks! It was arranged by Vierne’s sister! Just kidding! Stupid Typo!
