	Louis Vierne
		Vierne in turn became known as a great teacher, as well as a composer and organist, whose students were the nucleus of the French organ school that still lives today.
		Vierne was such a brilliant student and devoted follower of Widor's symphonic organ techniques that he became known as "Widor Junior." He was Widor's assistant at the church of Saint-Sulpice by 1892, and accompanied him on a whirlwind tour of Germany for 3 weeks in 1898.
		Vierne said that he was more interested in musical themes than tone color, and this is certainly reflected in the symphonies (though not in the Pieces of Fantasie).

	[No title]
		Louis Victor Jules Vierne was born on 8 October 1870 in Poitiers, France, where his father, Henri, a man of strong Bonapartist sympathies, was the editor of the newspaper Journal de la Vienne.
		Vierne was born nearly blind, but after an operation in 1877 enough of his sight was restored to enable him to read large print and move around without help.
		Vierne’s eyesight was by now beginning to deteriorate, and after an unsuccessful operation to cure glaucoma and secondary cataracts he became virtually blind.

	Bombarde's French Organ Music Pages: Vierne
		Louis Vierne (1870-1937) served as assistant to Widor from 1892 until 1900, when he was appointed to Notre-Dame.
		The fourth is a darker work, (dating from one of Vierne's worst periods of depression), but is not inaccesible for that.
		The effect of it's insistent repeated note (first heard at the very beginning, but permeating the work), and the slowly arching chromatic pairs of the first theme (two pairs ascending, two descending) contribute to the bleak mood.

	Louis Vierne: Complete Organ Symphonies Vol.1
		Louis Vierne was the last of the great romantic organist-composers which flourished in France in the late 19th/ early 20th Century.
		The organ symphony can be traced back to both Franck and Widor who themselves, as well as Vierne, were inspired by the infinite possibilities afforded by the symphonic instruments that Aristide Cavaillé-Coll had built in the second half of the 19th Century in the Trocadéro Hall and the great churches of Paris.
		Vierne s six symphonies all possess a great deal of architecture reflecting the places where they were conceived although they are entirely secular in inspiration.

		Louis Vierne (Poitiers 1870 - Paris 1937) absolvierte seine Lehrjahre an der Institution Nationale des Jeunes Aveugles und am Conservatoire in Paris.
		Es stellt sich heraus, daß Vierne gerne auf die Sonatenform zurückgreift, die Themen oft aber nicht nur in einem einzigen Symphoniesatz verwendet, sondern auf die gesamte Symphonie ausdehnt.
		Vierne konnte von der spätromantischen Ästhetik nicht loskommen.

		I don't mind this at all; Vierne's tempo markings are notoriously unreliable, probably at least partially due to his near-total blindness.
		The third work is much later, the unknown Cantique à Saint Louis de Gonzague - who according to the booklet is the Saint associated with boys with eye-problems, Vierne having being virtually blind since birth.
		Of the other works which Vierne edited, the Bach is predictably inflated, but interesting nonetheless as an insight into performance practice from a particular epoch.

	Louis Vierne - Symphonies pour Orgue - Reviews
		His detailed notes on Vierne’s life and the music are exemplary-the booklet further enhanced by his personal insights into the recording process, and the organ’s idiosyncracies.
		An important composer in his time, prolific in many genres, Louis Vierne (1870-1937) is known, and his music kept alive, solely in the repertoire of organ recitalists, mainly for his six symphonies (1899-1930).
		Perhaps in a quest for clarity, some of the lively movements elicit such inappropriate articulation in manuals and pedals that the pipes barely have time to speak properly, witness the spluttering reeds in the Final of No. 2, and the bizarre rhythmic distortion affected in the Scherzo of No. 6.

		Vierne felt a tremendous grief at this loss, but was sustained by his father and by the memory of his uncle in his aspiration to become an organ recitalist.
		But Vierne’s was plainly a life few would envy; at the lowest point of his life, successive tragedies had left Vierne a broken man, largely alone in the world, until his triumphant comeback in the late 1920s.
		For all the anguish, loss, and suffering Vierne faced in the course of his life, it might also be said that he was a man of remarkable resilience and character.
