Dupré, Marcel. (1886 - 1971). Signed Photograph. An ideal and large signed original photograph of the great French organist, pianist, composer, and pedagogue. Dupré is shown performing on the organ and has boldly signed and inscribed on the lower photographer's mount, beneath the signature of the photographer: "To my dear pupil Eugene Craft / With kindest regards, Marcel Dupré. 7 Juin 1929." The photograph 16.5 x 22.5 cm, the full mount 30.5 x 41 cm. The mount a little toned with some minor specks, generally fine and simply framed.


Eugene Craft (1898 - 1971) was organist in Charlotte, NC. He studied at the Eastman School and later at Trinity College and with Dupré in Paris.


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.
