Pièces posthumes is a set of 44 posthumous pieces for the organ composed by César Franck between 1858 and 1863. His son, Georges Franck, offered the set to the publisher Enoch & Cie., claimingthat they had been composed at the request of a friend of Franck's, a village amateur organist who asked the composer for some nice, yet simple pieces suitable vor the church service. The collection was first published in 1905. It was also published, in a heavily edited form, in 1934 by Tournemire (under the title L'Organiste, 2nd vol.) Some of the pieces can be played on a harmonium without pedals.
