Franck's only symphony was a late composition, first performed in Paris in February 1889, a year before his death. It splendidly reveals the great Belgian composer's musical individuality, and echoes powerfully the glories of the late French Romantic style. Today, a century after its first presentation, the Symphony in D Minor is one of the most performed and recorded symphonic works in the repertoire. This authoritative Dover edition makes it available in full score in a sturdy, yet inexpensive format designed to bring you a lifetime of pleasurable study. Although he was deeply influenced by Bach's contrapuntal technique and by Wagner's chromatic harmonies, Franck achieved a highly distinctive musical identity in his work. His pupil Dukas commented: "Franck's language is strictly individual, of an accent and quality hitherto unused, and recognizable among all other idioms." He was influenced not only as a composer but as an organ virtuoso and a teacher, numbering among his students and followers d'Indy, Chausson, and a host of other important modern French composers. His greatest works, among them the Symphony in D Minor, combine depth and monumentality with a sweeping, almost mystical lyricism — qualities that underlay his importance as a leading figure of 19th-century French musical life.

Two of the most popular sonatas in the repertoire. Franck’s Sonata in A for Violin and Piano boasts unflagging inventiveness and wealth of melodic charm. Fauré's Sonata No. 1 in A for Violin and Piano, Op. 13, possesses abundant originality, clarity and elegance. Both reproduced from authoritative Breitkopf &amp; Härtel editions.

A masterwork of late French romantic style, the Symphony in D Minor was Franck's only symphony. Nevertheless, it splendidly reveals the qualities that characterize the great Belgian composer's finest work. Instrumentation.

Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne (What one hears on the mountain) is a symphonic poem inspired by Victor Hugo's poem of the same name. Composed in 1846, three years before Liszt's tone poem on the same subject, the score remained unknown until 1922. The score offered here is a newly engraved edition prepared by Richard W. Sargeant, Jr. based upon the composer's manuscript preserved at the French National Library.Although the editor has been faithful to Franck's manuscript, a few changes have been made for the sake of practicality in performance. Due to the replacement of natural horns and trumpets with valved the chromatic instruments like those employed today during the composer's own lifetime the brass has been reorganized. The manuscript features first and second natural trumpets and horns (respecvtively in E and E-flat) alternating notes to acheive melodic passages. These sections have accordingly been amended to be performed by valved trumpets or horns in unison. Starting in measure 187 flute 1 has a solo followed by an extremely long held note - impossible for a single player. This long note has therefore been split between overlapping flutes 1 and 2.Possibly the first symphonic poem ever composed, Ce qu'on entend sur la montagne is a truly magnificent work with a brilliant orchestration which has been unduly disregarded for far too long. Hopefully this new, highly readable score will open the doors to more performances so audiences can appreciate the composer of the much later Symphony in D minor in an entirely new way.
