BÜSSER Henri [Toulouse, 1872 - Paris, 1973], organiste, chef d'orchestre et compositeur français
Set of 4 photographs dedicated to Claude Pascal. 1964-1967; postcard-sized. Two works by Henri Büsser are attached: "Précis de composition", 1943 edition and "Gounod". Born in 1921, Claude Pascal entered the Paris Conservatory of Music in 1931. He is notably the pupil of Jean Gallon and Henri Busser. His remarkable career earned him first prize in harmony in 1939, in counterpoint and fugue in 1940 and in composition in 1943. In 1945 he won the Prix de Rome and spent his year at the Villa Medici composing the "Sonate de Vinteuil", an iconic piece of Marcel Proust's Recherche du Temps perdu. Very close to Henri DUTILLEUX, he then devoted most of his career to teaching and composition. He died in 2017, shortly after the rediscovery of his Vinteuil sonata, which was only premiered in 2010.
