Wikipedia, September 6, 2013 (Augustin Barié; born 15 November 1883; died 22 August 1915; French composer and organist. Born in Paris, and was blind from birth; however, he had large hands which spanned an eleventh, allowing him to play the difficult organ works ; was a celebrated improviser, one of a long line of French Romantic virtuoso organists, and he wrote mostly for organ, including a Symphony (Op. 5) and Trois Pieces (Op. 7). His career was cut short when he died of a brain hemorrhage in Antony, France at the age of 31, not long after getting married)
