Life

Rolande Falcinelli studied from 1932 at the Paris Conservatory with Isidore Philipp and Abel Estyle (piano), Marcel Samuel-Rousseau (harmony), Simone Plé-Caussade (counterpoint), Henri Busser (composition). She was refused entry into the piano class of the Conservatoire in 1940 due to the general disorganization of the war years, which is why she decided to study organ privately with Gaston Litaize , which eventually ended in the organ class of Marcel Dupré at the Conservatoire. In 1941 she received the Prix ​​Rossini of the Académie des Beaux-Arts for her oratorio La Messiade . In 1942 she won the Second Grand Prix ​​de Rome in composition. Six years later, in 1948, she performed all the organ works by Marcel Dupré, whose music was always at the center of her interests, in the Salle Pleyel in Paris by heart .

From 1946 to 1973 she was titular organist at the Sacré-Cœur church in Paris . In addition, she taught organ at the Conservatoire Américain in Fontainebleau from 1948 to 1955 , headed the organ department of the École Normale de Musique from 1951 to 1955 and the organ class at the Conservatoire from 1955 to 1987. Her numerous students included Odile Pierre , Pierre Gazin , Xavier Darasse , Louis Thiry , Yves Devernay , Francis Chapelet , André Isoir , Daniel Roth , Pierre Pincemaille , Jean-Pierre Leguay , Louis Robilliard , Philippe Lefebvre , Maurice Clerc , Patrice Caire , Marie-Bernadette Dufourcet and Naji Hakim .

In addition to numerous organ compositions, she wrote works for piano, harpsichord, solo instruments, orchestra, choir and vocals.

Rolande Falcinelli died on June 11, 2006 at the age of 86 in Pau, France. From her marriage to Felix Otto, an employee of the NDR in Hamburg, she had a daughter, Sylviane (* 1956), a French musicologist.
