As there are several hundred piano studies by Czerny, it might
become confusing to attempt to pick out the most effective
exercises. To overcome this problem, Heinrich Germer, the original
editor, chose those he thought were best. Willard A. Palmer has
made several changes to metronome markings, fingerings and pedal
indications where he felt certain passages needed clarification.
Essays by prominent scholars and organists examine the music of
Franck and other nineteenth-century French organist-composers
through stylistic analysis, study of compositional process, and
exploration of how ideas about organ technique and
performance-practice traditions developed and became codified.
Nineteenth-century French organ music attracts an ever-increasing
number of performers and devotees. The music of Cesar Franck and
other distinguished composers-Boely, Guilmant, Widor-and the impact
upon this repertoire of the organ-building achievements of Aristide
Cavaille-Coll, are here explored through stylistic analysis, the
study of the compositional process, and the exploration of how
ideas about organ technique and performance practice traditions
developed and became codified. New consideration is also given to
the political and cultural contexts within which Franck and other
French organist-composers worked. Contributors: Kimberley Marshall,
