Roger-Ducasse, who is seventy-nine years of age, was a pupil of Faure; he wrote his Pastorale in 1909 and dedicated it to Nadia Boulanger. Louis Vierne and Albert Roussel died in the same year, 1937; the Toccata is from Vierne's Second Suite of Fantasy Pieces, and the Prelude and Fughetta is Roussel's only composition for organ. Eugene Gigout, who lived from 1844 to 1925, was a pupil of Saint-Saens and one of Roussel's composition teachers.
