Marcel Lanquetuit (NB "q" not "g") was 1894-1985. Though he may have been
at St.Ouen he was also organist of Rouen Cathedral retiring in 1978. He was
assistant to and a pupil of Marcel Dupre at St.Sulpice in Paris and the
Toccata is dedicated to Dupre's father Albert who certainly was organist at
St.Ouen. It has recently been republished by Leduc.
