Marcel Dupré's 'Pieces (7) for organ, Op. 27' is a collection of seven pieces for solo organ. The work was composed in 1912 and premiered in the same year by Dupré himself. The seven movements are as follows: 1. Prelude and Fugue in B major 2. Canzona in G minor 3. Choral in A minor 4. Fugue in C major 5. Scherzo in E major 6. Cantabile in B major 7. Final in B flat major The 'Prelude and Fugue in B major' is a grand and majestic opening to the collection. The prelude is marked by a soaring melody and a sense of grandeur, while the fugue is a complex and intricate exploration of counterpoint. The 'Canzona in G minor' is a more introspective and melancholic piece. The melody is haunting and mournful, and the harmonies are rich and complex. The 'Choral in A minor' is a simple and straightforward piece, with a hymn-like melody and a sense of reverence and solemnity. The 'Fugue in C major' is a lively and energetic piece, with a playful and intricate fugue subject that is developed throughout the movement. The 'Scherzo in E major' is a light and playful piece, with a fast and lively tempo and a sense of joy and exuberance. The 'Cantabile in B major' is a lyrical and expressive piece, with a beautiful and flowing melody that is accompanied by rich and colorful harmonies. The 'Final in B flat major' is a grand and triumphant conclusion to the collection. The piece is marked by a sense of power and majesty, with a soaring melody and a complex and intricate texture. Overall, Dupré's 'Pieces (7) for organ, Op. 27' is a masterful collection of pieces that showcases the composer's skill and versatility as an organist and composer. The collection is marked by a sense of grandeur, complexity, and beauty, and is a testament to Dupré's enduring legacy as one of the greatest organists and composers of the 20th century.
