WIDOR in Maribo Widor was an advocate for the part of the teaching pertaining to repertoire and technical skills and soon caused a revolution in the area due to the ideas that he brought with him from his own learning years with Lemmens. Widor was born in Lyon in 1844 and came - thanks to the intervention of Cavaillé-Coll - to Brussels from 1858 to study organplaying with Lemmens. On the organloft in St. Sulpice Widor was the king - a fact that is strongly emphasized by the stately photos that are preserved of him at the fantastic console of the organ. www.sitecenter.dk /domorganist-maribo/widorinmariboenglish   (2583 words)

Embellishments 2: Charles-Marie Widor: Complete Organ Symphonies The renowned French organ builder Aristide Cavaillé-Coll, friend of the Widor family, was highly impressed by the young boy's talent and arranged for him to study organ in Brussels with Jacques Lemmens and composition with François-Joseph Fétis, director of the Brussels Conservatory. The preface to Symphonie I of the Widor edition includes essays on the place of organ music in Widor's oeuvre, his musical heritage, his development of the organ symphony, the first performances and publications, the sources, performance guidelines, and a technical description of the organ of Saint-Sulpice. Following Franck's example of a few years earlier, Widor seized the multi-movement plan of the orchestral symphony, translated it to the organ, and established the organ symphony as a genre with his first four Symphonies pour orgue, opus 13 (1872). www.areditions.com /rr/embellish/1997_02/widor.html   (1112 words)
