Interesting point, indeed! Makes sense, considering that there are films that show him improvise double fugues on spot. And this is essentially the same technique you need for making a cantus firmus-based piece like this. Still an insane and almost inhuman level of counterpoint skill, especially because it is integrated in such a personal and recognizable style of harmony.
you all probably dont care but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot the password. I love any help you can offer me.
For anyone who needs a big postlude but has time constraints (my church higher-ups have not quite grasped the fact that most pieces of music require more than 90 seconds for introduction, theme/exposition/finale...anyway, if you start at the measure around 5:58 in the video, (GPR/PR/PR) you have less stop setups, and it's at a decent break in the fugal material. Big crowd-pleaser. The congregrants where I play often ask for this at the end of the Halloween-themed service (some more progressive churches are open to this). It's great fun to learn and the pedal - though fast - is chromatic more often than following the jumps in a I-IV-V-I progression, so it's a lot more accessible than it might seem.
M. Castagnet est un de mes organistes préférés qui enregistre trop peu à mon goût. Chez Dupré, il est remarquable. On le sent inspiré, investi. Bref, j'aime.
Rumor has it that Dupre wrote the prelude as a kind of friendly "I can do better than that!" showing off to his tutor, Widor, after hearing Widor's Symphony #5 Toccata.
Many years ago Roland Facinelli told me that this Fugue was an improvisation that Dupré wrote down. He was a genius.

Yeah... that fugue ending is pretty epic.
A musical miracle !
Magical, simply magical

You’re a wizard Harry (Hagrid voice). Well played!
Wow! You're right 🧙 I couldn't understand this piece. But suddenly with that image on my head everything makes sense.... Weird 😅
Impressive

Scintillating
