Marcel Dupré’s Trois Préludes et Fugues, Op. 7 is a landmark in the organ repertoire, renowned for its technical demands and expressive depth. Composed in 1912 and dedicated to René Vierne, this collection comprises three preludes and fugues that challenge and inspire advanced organists.

The first and third pieces in the set were considered unplayable by Dupré’s teacher, Charles-Marie Widor, due to their rapid tempos, intricate figurations, and complex pedal work. For years, Dupré himself was the only organist capable of performing them publicly, showcasing his extraordinary virtuosity and setting a new standard for organ performance.

This edition, published by Alphonse Leduc, features clear engraving and a softcover format, making it suitable for both study and performance.
