César Franck
Prélude, Choral et Fugue
Franck wrote almost all of his important works in his later years. This almost 20-minute-long cycle from 1884 is his best-known piano composition and is often played on concert platforms to this day. Although Franck himself was a very proficient pianist, his musical roots are in organ music, which also supplied the inspiration for his piano output.
