His talent and taste made him the classic example of the stability of provincial musicians who don't try to go against the omnipresent influence of the capital, but through force of character and a solid education, manage to breath fresh air into their country's music. For example, Collin's publications which included Breton popular songs, enchanted Franck and Guilmant. We imagine that the presence of a Parisian master at the inauguration of a great organ in the provinces was not enough to give it standing in the long term. However, even though the catalogue of music by provincial musicians doubtless may not be as prestigious as that of the "standard" composers, we must always give a thought to these artists, who were often more devoted and certainly more obscure, who demonstrated - in much greater quantity than their counterparts in the capital - the tones of the master organ builder.
