Prélude en fa dièse mineur (1914)

Played solely on all fonds 8' with coupled manuals and pedals, this Prélude is profound yet simple of structure (A-B-C-A). In my view it is often played too fast resulting in loss of its solemn atmosphere. It is dedicated to Monsieur Albert Perilhou, Organist du Grand Orgue de St. Séverin à Paris.
