To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Guilmant and Gigoux are two organists of note who have confined themselves to writing music for their instrument. The works of the former are known all over the world. How many composers of real worth are com- pelled by the force of circumstances to work in comparative obscurity, and how many are debarred * C. M. Widor, b. 1845. 200 Saint-Saens and Contemporaries from ever tasting the fruits of success ? One who was both, was Louis Lacombe, the author of several works of large dimensions, notab...ly Winkelriede, an opera which was only performed after his death. He must not be confounded with Paul Lacombe, who studied with Bizet and has written orchestral and chamber music. A musician who may fittingly find a place in this chapter is Benjamin Godard.* The career of this distinguished musician affords another in- stance, as in the case of Lalo, of the many tribula- tions and disappointments that too often form the accompaniment of a composer's existence. And yet Godard cannot be said to have been alto- gether unsuccessful during his life.
