César Franck'ın "Prelüd, Koral ve Füg" Eserinin İncelenmesi

Abstract

César Franck was one of the greatest names of the French Music and also most skilled organ player in the second half of the 19. Century, thus he is one of the most interesting composers of his time considering his insight of organ on piano music.With his piano works that he created the effect of organ with piano instrument, he influenced other great composers like Debussy and Ravel. In his compositions, he combines his instrumental ideas with his understanding of polyphony and he creates an intense atmosphere. Prelude, Chorale and Fugue has a very rich harmonic structure and uses all the possibilities of the piano instrument has to offer, also being the outcome of Franck s sensual and religious personality, balancing the mystic facts with a solid sense of form, this piece is one of the hardest and incomprehensible works of piano literature.
