	Cesar Franck - MSN Encarta
		Franck's work is characterized by the use of classical forms, including the symphony and sonata, which he imbued with a romantic spirit.
		Although Franck's work was neglected during his lifetime, his compositions are now part of the standard repertoire of instrumentalists and orchestras.
		Among Franck's other compositions are the oratorio Les béatitudes (1869-79); orchestral works, including three symphonic poems; Variations symphoniques for piano and orchestra (1885); the Sonata for Piano and Violin (1886); and organ works, including Six pièces pour grand orgue (1860-62) and Trois chorals (1890).

	César Franck biography - 8notes.com
		Franck was a fine pianist, and made concert tours in his early years, but made his living at the organ, becoming organist of Sainte-Clotilde in 1858, where he remained until his death.
		Franck's fame rests largely on a small number of compositions written in his later years, particularly his symphony (1886-88), the Symphonic Variations for piano and orchestra (1885), the Prelude, Choral and Fugue for piano solo (1884) and a sonata for violin and piano (1886).
		Franck died in 1890 and was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse in Paris.

	Decca Music Group - Composers
		César Franck and his younger brother Joseph, who also became a musician, were brought up by a father whose ambition was to breed two virtuosos at public expense through the educational system.
		Franck's time with Reicha was short, but what he learned from the older man about counterpoint and fugal technique became his mainstay for the rest of his life.
		Franck occupied a key position in the development of French music and musical life in the last three decades of the 19th century.

	César Franck
		Franck was appointed professor of the organ at the Paris Conservatoire, in succession to Benoist, his old master, in 1872, and the following year he was naturalized a Frenchman.
		The unconventionality of the music rather disconcerted the general public, but the work nevertheless made its mark, and Franck became the central figure of an enthusiastic circle of pupils and adherents whose devotion atoned for the comparative indifference of the masses.
		A statue was erected to the memory of César Franck in Paris on the 22nd of October 1904, the occasion producing a panegyric from Alfred Bruneau, in which he speaks of the composer's works as "cathedrals in sound."

	INKPOT#103: FRANCK Symphony in D minor - An Inktroduction
		Franck's use of English horn also predated by some five years Dvorák's use of the same instrument in the slow movement of his most famous symphony, "From the New World" Symphony (No. 9).
		Throughout the movement, themes from first and second movements are recalled as part of the unifying process, most notably the English horn theme of the second, which appears in all three sections of it in grandiose form, and the question theme of the first, mostly near the end of the recapitulation.
		Franck himself didn't give any indications how it should be played.

	César Auguste Franck
		In Luik geboren op 10 december 1822 uit een vader uit Gemmenich en een moeder uit Aken, was Franck de onaanvechtbare (maar aangevochten!) leider van de Franse muziek van het derde kwart van de negentiende eeuw.
		Bij zijn collega's was Franck niet erg geliefd: ze vonden hem te eenvoudig en te naïef.
		Hij sterft in de (geestelijke) bloei van zijn leven op 8 november 1890 als laat gevolg van een vroeg verkeersongeval (hij werd aangereden door een Parijse autobus of hoe dat tuig er in 1890 ook mag uitgezien en geheten hebben).

		Like no other person before him and (very few since) Franck used the ranges, dynamic possibilities, good attack, acoustic effects and many other features unique to his friend's instruments.
		It is true that he was not particularly appreciated as a recitalist and innovator.
		Without doubt, the loss of the improvisations of Franck and Bruckner can be ranked among the greatest losses to the world of music.

	César Franck biography
		Franck's best known orchestral works are the Symphonic Variations for solo piano and orchestra and the Symphony in D minor, completed in 1888 and first performed at a Conservatoire concert the following year.
		Franck wrote a number of large scale choral works on biblical subjects, with smaller scale works for occasional or liturgical use.
		Franck wrote one Violin Sonata, which, like his symphony, is united by a cyclic use of thematic material that connects the movements.

	César Franck: Pièce Héroïque
		César Franck, organist at the Basilica of Sainte Clotilde in Paris, wrote and performed his set of "Trois Pièces" in 1878 for the inauguration of the new Cavaillé-Coll organ at the Trocadéro Palace (seen in the background of this page).
		The "Pièce Héroïque" has two themes: the first, proud and martial, is heard in the tenor range over batteries of chords, leading to a rhythmic fanfare "à la Française"; the second theme is a chorale, incorporated into the symphonic structure for the first time in Franck's organ works.
		This contrasting and serenely lyrical melody is first presented by the Trumpet stop in dialogue with the Flute.

		He is cursed, forever to be the quarry of the Devil and his demons (Franck’s sundry unsavoury sounds must be heard to be believed!).
		Franck’s bipartite theme, on stern strings answered by pacifying piano, sounds suspiciously similar to the central movement of Beethoven’s Fourth Piano Concerto.

	Biografia de César-Auguste Franck
		Niño prodigio, Franck se había dado a conocer a edad temprana en su Bélgica natal como organista y pianista.
		Alumno del Conservatorio de París desde 1837, en esta institución descubrió la música de J. Bach, cuya impronta iba a ser determinante en su obra posterior.
		En todas ellas, Franck hace gala de un lenguaje armónico de acentuado cromatismo que, aunque remite a Wagner y Liszt, tiene su verdadero origen en Bach, al igual que su cultivo del contrapunto.

	CLASSICAL MUSIC ARCHIVES: Biography of César Franck
		In his early works Franck was influenced by the opéra-comique composers such as Grétry.
		His middle years were dominated by works of religious character, his oratorio Les Béatitudes occupying him for 10 years.
		Franck's harmonic idiom, no doubt influenced by Wagner and by the org.-loft, has a pungent individuality which exerted a powerful sway not only over his pupils but over a much later generation, e.g.

	César Franck
		Wie kaum jemand vor ihm (und nur wenige nach ihm) nutzt Franck die Stimmlagen, die dynamischen Möglichkeiten, die Eigenschaften des Einsetzens, die akustischen Effekte und viele andere spezifische Merkmale der Instrumente seines Freundes.
		Sicherlich wird er als Konzertmeister und bei Einweihungen nicht sonderlich geschätzt; bekannt sind in erster Linie seine Darbietungen zusammen mit seinen Kollegen (Saint-Eustache, Notre-Dame), und die Kritik betont die extreme Korrektheit seines Spiels, die Gewissenhaftigkeit bei der Entwicklung der Themen.
