What is most striking perhaps to someone who only knows Franck's music from the Piano Quintet of 1879 onwards is the relentlessly diatonic harmony of the early works. Composer Fellowship Program; National Composers. Important piano and organ pieces. Franck’s Piano Quintet in F minor was composed in the winter of 1878.

The Piano Quintet, one of the earliest masterpieces of, marked his return to chamber music after more than 35 years. The work was dedicated to who, although he played the piano part in the premiere, so strongly disapproved of the musical language of the composer that he rejected the dedication. The first movement opens with a dramatic introduction, Molto moderato quasi lento, by the bowed strings. The piano replies in a gentle manner. The strings restate their opening.

The piano turns even more gentle. The dialogue continues along similar lines until the piano suddenly launches into the Allegro. The second subject is characterized by a wistful inflection to minor. The development reaches a stormy climax.

Franck Piano Quintet Program Notes

A passage mirrors the introduction. The reprise is very intense, but it concludes fading away. The second movement, Lento, con molto sentimento, is also in sonata form. It opens with a motive with a falling figure on the first violin, with a background of repeated chords of the piano. The atmosphere gradually turns more tragic. Then, a gentle melody in the lower strings is accompanied by piano in the high register. In the central section, the piano brings back the second subject of the opening Allegro.

The reprise is again highly dramatic. The finale, Allegro non troppo ma con fuoco, is characterized by a relentless rhythmic drive. It opens with a repeated soft motive in the strings from which the first subject emerges. The second subject begins with a piano theme accompanied by the strings. The agitation continues throughout.

Near the ending, the second subject of the Allegro reappears. But the rhythmic urgency resumes and brings the work to an intense conclusion.

Organ of Notre-Dame-de-Lorette At the same time, a revolutionary change was occurring in the techniques of French organ performance. The German organist (1809–1863), a student of biographer, had demonstrated in 1844 in Paris the pedal technique which (together with a German-style ) made the performance of Bach's works possible. This was totally outside the scope of the kind of playing which Franck had learned from Benoist at the Conservatoire; most French organs did not have the pedal board notes required for such work, and even France's own great classical organ tradition dating from the period of the was at that time neglected in favour of the art of improvisation. Hesse's performances might have been treated simply as a short sensation for their dazzling virtuosity, but that Hesse's pupil (1823–1881) came to Paris in 1852 and again in 1854. Lemmens was then professor of organ at the, and was not only a virtuoso performer of Bach but a developer of organ teaching methods with which all organists could learn to play with precision, clarity, and legato phrasing. Franck appeared on the same inaugural concert program as Lemmens in 1854, much admiring not only the classic interpretation of Bach but also the rapidity and evenness of Lemmens's pedal work.

States that Franck, pianist before he was organist, 'never wholly acquired the legato style himself'; nevertheless he realized the expansion of organ style made possible by the introduction of such techniques and set about the task of mastering them.
