Not professional, not note-perfect, but I'm pretty pleased-- especially considering that I learned it with no help.

I'm surprised that this isn't as much as a required piece for organists as the Mozart flute sonatas were for me.

Thanks.

There are some smaller and easier Bach works that are pretty much standard repertoire; but wow, I'd get tired of hearing every undergraduate organist play this! Not sure how well I would have played it 20 years ago; likely I'd have just absorbed my teacher's approach rather than getting to find my own way through it.

Thank you for posting these.

On the first one you're really ripping off a piece, and while the second one largely still sounds a bit technical-- I can't wait to hear its fulfilled glory. :)

I know a little, from having played the Toccata and Fugue on piano, about its technical difficulties. Really, a wonderful performance so almost-there-- and worked on when you're under crosswise-pulling strains!
