CESAR FRANCK

10thDecember 1822 --- 8thNovember 1890

Cesar Franck, Belgian composer and organist born Libge in 1822 and died in 1890, on his father's side of family which had
lived for generations in Gemmenlch, Belium, his mother side was from Germany and had came from Aachen.

He became a naturalised Frenchman in 1873. After an academic career of unusual brilliance in Paris, he began an arduous
life of composrtion and teaching, a life which, although uneventful, was destined to bear great fruit.

He Was Organist at Notre-Dame de lorette, then went  to Sainte-Jean-Saint-Francois(1851),  and finally at Sainte-Clotilde
where he had already been choirmaster in 1858.

This rendered his financial position more secure, besides enabling him to establish his  reputation as an organ soloist.  His
improvisations left an impression of something unique and profoundly moving Franck gathered together a circle of young
eager students,  including d'Indy,  Chausson,v Lekeu, Bordes and Duparc, and with them pursued the study of polyphonic
and symphonic music, he was indeed the father of a special branch of modern French muslc.

His compositions was marked by his characteristic  use of chromaticism and sometimes by experiments in form, include a
Symphony, 1889,  a piano quintet, 1880, a string quartet, 1889, a violin sonata, 1886, Variations Symphoniques for piano
and orchestra, 3 operas, sev. oratorios and a large number works for piano and organ.

During his lifetime he was not really appreciated except by his friends within his immediate circle.
