Fantaisie in C Major Click to Listen [8:29] (a=426 Hz)
In four main sections, marked Poco lento - restful with a canon in the middle; Allegretto cantando - containing rather virtuosic counterpoint; Quasi lento - sometimes startling sonic buildup and letdown; and Adagio - strangely comforting, like the soft movements at the end of each Mendelssohn Sonata. Midi File available. Instrument: St. Augustine's Anglican Church, Neutral Bay, Australia (1929) - Samples by Nicholas Appleton

Audio track was created with Hauptwerk v. 3.30 software
