Jean Guillou is one of the most significant contemporary organ virtuosos and composers for the instrument. A student of Dupré, Duruflé and Messiaen, he is the personification of the great and living French organ tradition. 'Furtive Pieces' are 10 short compositions of easy to medium difficulty, to be played individually or arranged into little suites. The publication date is timed to coincide with the 70th birthday of Jean Guillou on 20 April 2000.
