Marcel Dupré

Cours D Harmonie Analytique

French organist and composer, Marcel Dupré (1886-1971) is also remembered as a significant pedagogue. His Cours D'Harmonie Analytique is an excellent aid to the important technique.

Suitable to students in their second year of advanced musical studies,  Cours D'Harmonie Analytique gives focus to elements such as figured bass, chords, and all the possible variations, among other aspects. Dupré 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. Dupré's compositions and didactic works remain important to organists today and his Cours D'Harmonie Analytique is no exception.
