I'mfocusing a bit moreon my piano pieces these days... I'm working on two violin & piano sonatas: Debussy and Brahms #3.</P>
I've got to (as in ASAP!) make an organ-only transcription of Haydn's "Lord Nelson Mass" - that, plus some Schubert choral works (which I might actually prefer on the piano - we'll see).</P>
As far as solo repertoire, I'm maintaining Vierne's "Symphonie No.4" and the Trois Pièces by Barié. It is for a project I've been planning.</P>
My next solorecital will feature Debussy, Ravel, and Fauré transcriptions, plusJongen's Sonata Éroïca. It will be a thirdtime for this particular recital; the first two were done this year, on two nice Skinners at opposite ends of the USA; the next recital will be on a Skinner as well. [:)]</P>
I should also start thinking about selections for a Lenten recital. [*-)]</P>
Tu es Petra and Alfred Hollins' Trumpet Minuet are both some of my favorites. I've been thinking of getting the Trumpet Minuet, is it something that an organist can get under their fingers in a week?
I think you could do it in a week. There are sections that are a bit treacherous to coordinate between both hands and the Pedal line. But seeing as how you have mastered the canonic part of the Vierne Final you should be fine.

Well, I'll go ahead and add it to my music wish-list for next time I'm at the music store. I also want to get Dupre's Cortege et Litanie, though I might be in over my head if I try to dive straight into that one.</p>
The canonic part of Vierne's Final definitely took some doing, as did the other "spot" (According to my count, measures 206-211).</p>
The above work of 1919 is a masterpiece of brilliant composition. The first section captures the solemn mood of the name that it is given as does the second section; brilliantly recreating a litany of repetitive prayer; but the most enthralling is the final section where the first two sections are superimposed so to speak into a fiery climax.I first saw and heard this in the 1970s performed by a former student of Virgil who studied at Peabody and who presided over a gorgeous gdh aeolian-skinner in canton ohio.may I urge you to reconsider. I am confident that if you undertake this challenge that what will result from your home instrument will surpass anything so far to date.</P>
Both are somewhat difficult for me as the rhythm is a little complicated and the left hand/pedal must be memorized to play at any decent speed. Also, the march is a piano score so that some rearrangement is necessary.

Sorry I didn't see this thread before so I posted my reply somewhere else !!! I wish they paid me for being silly.....[:P]</P>
I'm currently working on a few things....</P>
Bach's Trio Sonata in E flat - First movement</P>
Rutter - Prelude on 'God rest ye merry Gentlemen '</P>
Mulet - Carillon Sortie</P>

<P mce_keep="true"></P>
BWV 532 is a part of mynext year's 'Need to learn 2 Bach Preludes a year' project... [:)]I know, I know, Thats not enough ofBach for a year butI've always been a bit sacred of Bach... Not becuase its technically difficult but because I feel to play Mr. Bach properly with all the parts is just a skill in itself.... I have a DVD of John Scott Whiteley playing Bach so effortlessly... it just makes me want to pack up and go home... [:(] ..How people play Bach from memory is just beyond me.... Didn't Marcel Dupre play the Complete works of Bach from Memory ???? [:'(]</P>
Anyway I'm glad you're learning the 532... I'll now have someone to come to for guidence next year ..lol..</P>
