Prelude - Chorale and Allegro Click to Listen, [8:26]
No. 1 from Ten Pieces for Organ, the Prelude opens quietly with a Pédale solo and then a restless theme on the G.O. which pervades the whole. The Chorale is sounded in close harmony on foundations and reeds of the Récit. At the Allegro there is a sudden surge of sound which builds in a meandering way to a thundering climax. Adapted for two manuals using the extended layout. Instrument: A. Cavaillé-Coll Organ, originally Paris, France, moved to Mainz, Germany (1877) - Samples by Prof. Helmut Maier
