César Franck 1822 - 1890
Franck was Belgium's most famous msuical son. He was born in Liège and studied at the conservatoire there before going to the Paris Conservatoire in 1838. During his first years in Paris, Franck made his living by teaching, both privately and institutionally. He also held various posts as organist. In 1858, he became organist at the newly consecrated Saint Clotilde Basilica, where he remained until his death. Here he began to attract attention for his skill as an improviser. His first set of organ compositions, however, was not published until 1868, when he was 46 years old, although it contains one of his finest organ pieces, the Grande Piece Symphonique. In 1890, Franck was accidentally hit by a horse tram. It was after this accident that he wrote his Trois chorals for organ. Franck never recovered from his injuries and died as a result of complications from the accident very shortly after finishing the chorales.
