Historical context
Vierne composed his Sixth and last Organ Symphony, in B minor, in 1930; it was published in 1931. He dedicated it to Maurice Duruflé, the pupil who would stand at his side in the Notre-Dame loft on the night he died, and it was Duruflé who gave the première, at Notre-Dame, on 3 June 1934. The grandest and most elaborate of the six, the Sixth Symphony closed the cycle Vierne had begun more than thirty years earlier with the First.
