Historical context
The Pastorale, Op. 19, stands as one of six significant organ pieces from Franck’s second musical period. This work, presented in Lied-form, features a fugal development that possesses real charm and melody. Its compositional approach is noted for representing the logical fulfillment of the system indicated in Beethoven’s third period.
