In very fine condition, from an album compiled by Julia Wilmotte Henshaw (1869 - 1937), English-Canadian botanist and journalist. 25 x 33 cm. The verso of the page features a bold 1914 autograph from Edward R. G. Evans, the British naval officer and Antarctic explorer who served as second-in-command on Robert Falcon Scott's ill-fated expedition to the South Pole in 1910–1913 and as captain of the expedition ship Terra Nova. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA surprisingly uncommon autograph of the great French organist, pianist, composer, and pedagogue.  A student of Louis Diémer and Lazare Lévy (piano), Alexandre Guilmant and Louis Vierne (organ), and Charles-Marie Widor (composition),  Dupré was later professor of organ performance and improvisation at the Paris Conservatoire (1926 - 1954) and teacher of two generations of well-known organists including Jehan Alain and Marie-Claire Alain, Pierre Cochereau, Jeanne Demessieux, Rolande Falcinelli, Jean Guillou, Jean Langlais, and Olivier Messiaen, to name only a few.  In 1934, Dupré succeeded Charles-Marie Widor as titular organist at St. Sulpice in Paris, a post he held until his death in 1971.  Winner of the Grand Prix de Rome in 1914 and regarded as a virtuoso of the highest order, Dupré contributed extensively to the development of organ technique, both through his own organ music and in his pedagogical works.","brand":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46093304791199,"sku":"6811","price":150.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0512\/4826\/7423\/files\/Dupre_2C_Marcel_sig_1355.jpg?v=1722187173","url":"https:\/\/www.schubertiademusic.com\/products\/6811-dupre-marcel-evans-edward-r-g-large-autograph-and-inscription","provider":"Schubertiade Music and Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
