Catalogue Note
Ce superbe volume est de la plus grande rareté. Nous n'avons pas retrouvé trace de cet exemplaire sur le marché ces dernières 50 années. Le Livre d'orgue de Raison est un des ouvrages majeurs du répertoire de messes pour orgue. Raison eut parmi ses élèves Clérembault. De plus, il semble que J.S. Bach se soit inspiré du thème de "Christe: Trio en passacaille" (messe du deuxième ton dans l'ouvrage) pour sa Passacaille en do mineur (BWV582). (TNG)
This is a very handsome, rare and beautiful volume. We have no record of it on the market for over 50 years.
