Abstract: The interpretation of the Franck organ works is difficult from not only technical perspectives, (for example those who have small hands), but from the musical perspectives. Two very important issues are honoring the needs of structure, but also honoring the the Franck traditions of rubato, which largely fall into two types. One school represented by Charles Tournemire, (who studied with César Franck), allows for a good deal of rhythmic freedom. The other tradition represented by Marcel Dupré, (who studied with Felix Alexandre Guilmant) does not use as much rubato, often with steadier tempi, and often with very little freedom. Our aim is to make comparisons between these traditions, and to demonstrate that both have validity.
Keywords: Rubato. Rhythmic freedom. Franck interpretation. Structure. Romanticism.
