Open the sheet music libraryCésar Franck (1822-1890)
Belgian-born organist who spent most of his life at the console of Sainte-Clotilde in Paris improvising for a congregation, and who wrote almost everything he is remembered for after the age of fifty. His pupils were devoted to the point of forming a school around him. The great works, the Symphony, the Violin Sonata, the Prelude, Chorale and Fugue, all come from the last decade of a life that had shown very little sign of them, which makes him the standing argument against writing anybody off.
Start with these
The easiest Franck on the shelf, in order. Nothing here is graded and nobody is ranked: the shelf simply puts the pieces that ask less of your hands before the ones that ask more.
How the reader works
Each score opens as engraved notation you can read from the stand, and it plays: hear the piece first, then slow it down and loop the bar that is not working. There is nothing to install and no account to make. When you want paper, print it.
Every file is MusicXML, so MuseScore, Sibelius, Finale and Dorico open them too.
Where to go next
If you are learning Franck rather than only reading, the scale pages cover fingering in every key, the chord pages spell out every chord, and the symbol dictionary explains any mark on the page you do not recognise.
