César Auguste Franck (1822-90)
Composer
Born in Liège, César Franck was a church musician for much of his life, acquiring a formidable reputation as an improviser at the organ. Unsurprisingly, a considerable proportion of his output is for this instrument, and some of his orchestral works - particularly his single Symphony, in D minor - show the influence of the organ in their instrumentation. Like Sergei Rachmaninov, he was blessed with unusually large hands, giving him a wide stretch at the keyboard and leading him to write piano parts that regularly feature intervals of a twelfth!
