Toccata from Suite Op. 5 (1933)
Dedication: Paul Dukas
John Scott at the organ of St. Paul's Cathedral, London
Duruflé has felt uneasy about having his works published lest they prove to be imperfect in some way. The composer grew to dislike his Toccata and he refused to perform it for the recordings he made with his wife, having expressed his dissatisfaction with it. He revised the score and added a new ending at a later date. This shows an almost insane striving for perfection as this demanding Toccata is one of the best examples - if not the best and most satisfying - of the many French movements of this kind.
