César Franck
César Franck (1822-1890) was a Belgian composer, pianist, organist, and music teacher who became a prominent figure in the French music scene of the late 19th century. Known for his symphonic and choral works, Franck's compositions often feature rich harmonies and intricate counterpoint. His most famous pieces include the 'Symphony in D minor,' 'Symphonic Variations for Piano and Orchestra,' and the 'Violin Sonata in A major,' which is celebrated for its lyrical themes and complex structure. Franck's influence extended to his students, many of whom became significant composers in their own right, solidifying his legacy in the evolution of French music.
