Volume 1, edited by Christiane Strucken-Paland, is the first publication to contain all of Franck's surviving early organ works, fragments and variants. Special attention has been given to his largest early work, the Fantasy in A major, which was left unpublished during his lifetime and only resurfaced a few years ago. Here Franck already displays his consummate mastery of thematic development.
