Théodore DUBOIS - Toccata (Anne-Isabelle de Parcevaux, organ)

Théodore Dubois (1837 - 1924), Toccata, n°3 from 12 pièces pour orgue, published in 1886.

After study at the Paris Conservatoire, Dubois won France's premier musical prize, the Prix de Rome in 1861.
He became an organist and choirmaster at several well-known churches in Paris, including Sainte Clotilde and La Madeleine, and at the same time was a professor in the Conservatoire, teaching harmony from 1871 to 1891 and composition from 1891 to 1896, when he succeeded Ambroise Thomas as the Conservatoire's director.
He continued his predecessor's strictly conservative curriculum and was forced to retire early after a scandal erupted over the faculty's attempt to rig the Prix de Rome competition to prevent the modernist Maurice Ravel from winning.

His Toccata from 12 pièces pour orgue is his most famous organ piece.
