At the same time, he pursued a career as a soloist and chamber musician of international renown. Belgian composer Jean Absil's "Grande Suite, Op. 62" is dedicated to Dumortier. Dumortier was active even in his retirement, launching master classes in Tournai in 1988, during the course of which young pianists from various countries came together each year. He also completed several recordings. Perhaps his greatest legacy remains that of a teaching placed under the signs of "my beauty" and "the essential."
