Franck - Prélude, Choral et Fugue, FWV 21 (PDF Sheet Music / Digital Download)

Composed late in César Franck's career, the Prélude, Choral et Fugue stands as one of the most significant and profound works in the Romantic piano repertoire. Unlike his earlier, gentler organ works, this piece is cast on an epic, dramatic scale, functioning as a three-part spiritual archway that moves from contemplative questioning to triumphant resolution.

Franck masterfully unites the structural rigor of J.S. Bach with his own signature harmonic language: rich, dense, and deeply chromatic. This fusion creates an architectural masterpiece where the three movements are thematically linked, developing and transforming the same core musical ideas.
