Some weeks ago I recorded some pieces of this unknown french composer, Adolphe Miné (1797-1854), organist in Saint Roch in Paris and then in Chartres. I decided to record all the pieces from his organ school. I propose you today the first 16 little pieces called "studies".
This is transition music between Lasceux (died in 1831) and César Franck. He is contemporary of Boëly who died in 1858. This organ school was published around 1836 (Franck begins to study in the COnservatoire in Paris in 1837). Some pieces remain the classical tradition and registrations, others announce Franck's organ. I choose the sample of Saint-Omer (Sonus Paradisi), a wonderfull organ transformed by Cavaillé-COll but retaining classical stops.
