Summary of This Method
Marcel Dupré (1886-1971), an essential figure of the organ in the 20th century, left a lasting mark on musical pedagogy through his didactic works. His Complete Study of the Fugue offers a solid and progressive introduction to one of the most demanding skills in composition: the fugue. Designed to guide the student step by step, this method emphasizes understanding the internal mechanisms of musical discourse as much as acquiring writing and analysis reflexes.
The work is organized into two parts. The second part deepens crucial points for constructing a coherent and expressive fugue: the subject (its conception, profile, development potential), the coda (and how to conclude clearly), modulations (to articulate the tonal journey), the use of the pedal (particularly relevant for the organ), as well as the overall structure. This approach connects technique to musicality by illuminating the choices that give the fugue its balance, tension, and logic.
Trained at the Paris Conservatory under Louis Vierne and Charles-Marie Widor, Dupré distinguished himself with prizes in piano, organ, and fugue, and with a virtuoso career capable of performing from memory the complete organ works of J. S. Bach. This dual identity as performer and pedagogue is felt in the method: the goal is not only to explain but to make understood and to equip the organist durably. Whether you wish to work on composition, refine your analysis, or enrich your reading of great contrapuntal works, Complete Study of the Fugue stands out as a demanding and particularly formative study companion.
