Doigtés de Monique THUS, professeur CA de la Cité de la Musique de Marseille.
Another transcription for organ has been made of this same Sinfonia by Marcel Dupré, but Guilmant's one is much more rich. It is this transcription which is recorded by Jean GUILLOU on his cd "Organ Encores" recorded on the Alpes d'Huez organ.
