Editing Marcel Dupré (section)

==Early life and education==
Born in [[Rouen]] into a wealthy musical family, Marcel Dupré was a child prodigy. His father Aimable Albert Dupré was titular organist of [[Saint-Ouen Abbey, Rouen|Saint-Ouen Abbey]] from 1911 till his death and a friend of [[Aristide Cavaillé-Coll]], who built an organ in the family house when Marcel was 10 years old. His mother Marie-Alice (née Chauvière) was a [[Cello|cellist]] who also gave music lessons, and his paternal uncle Henri Auguste Dupré was a violinist and violist. Both of his grandfathers, Étienne-Pierre Chauvière ([[Kapellmeister|maître de chapelle]] at Saint-Patrice in Rouen and an operatic bass) and Aimable Auguste-Pompée Dupré (also a friend of Cavaillé-Coll) were also organists.

Having already taken lessons from [[Alexandre Guilmant]] (due to his appealing to his father), Dupre entered the [[Paris Conservatoire]] in 1904, where he studied with [[Louis Diémer]] and [[Lazare Lévy]] (piano), Guilmant and [[Louis Vierne]] (organ), and [[Charles-Marie Widor]] (fugue and composition). In 1914, Dupré won the Grand [[Prix de Rome]] for his [[cantata]] ''Psyché''.
