Léon Boëllmann (1862–1897) was a student of Ecole Niedermeyer and held the position of Titular Organist at the Church of Saint-Vincent-de-Paul, Paris. Continuing in the tradition of Saint-Saëns, Franck and Gigout, his compositional output reflects the elegant and sophisticated domain of the “Belle Epoque”.
This new volume contains those of Boëllmann’s works that were transcribed for organ and harmonium by his contemporaries, as well as works by composers of the time which were arranged by Boëllmann. The edition includes a detailed foreword (Fr/Eng/Ger) with advice on performance practice and facsimile pages of the manuscript, as well as a critical commentary (Fr/Eng/Ger).
