Verset

Charles-Alexis Chauvet (7 June 1837 – 29 January 1871) was a French organist and composer.

Became organist at the new Cavaille-Coll organ of Sainte-Trinite in Paris in 1869. "Renowned for its interpretations of J. S. Bach and his improvisations, he was also regularly invited to participate in the inauguration of organs in Paris (e.g. in 1868, Notre-Dame de Paris), with Édouard Batiste, César Franck and Camille Saint-Saëns. A gifted and refined musician, he is considered one of the most brilliant composers for the organ with his friend César Franck who dedicated him his Fantasy in C major for organ, Op. 16."

This piece comes from 20 Morceaux pour orgue (1863), reissued in 1896 by Théodore Dubois under the title 'Vingt célèbres pièces pour orgue'
