Hi CT64,
Hahaha - you mentioned Lefebure-Wely and that the organist played one of his works as a postlude - could this be the piece that he played:

The guy in this vid is clearly an amateur/enthusiast - he fumbles badly in one place but I admire his struggling through it.
Cheers,

Corno - a little harsh aren't you? I thought his playing was fine, as to him having a fumble, he's human. *mental note - don't put myself up on YouTube, ever!*
Hi CT64,
I apologise if I came across as *harsh* but I admired him for struggling through the piece. Its not that hard to play, it just requires a good sense of rhythm and careful fingering and maybe a little more coaching in how to properly registrate the piece for performance.
Humbly,
Corno Dolce

Sweet Corn - French music is generally expensive ... where did you buy your Lefebure-Wely from, can I ask?
This piece of music sounds like a polka meets Bach! I like it. He plays
about like I do but a bit better. I like waltzes mixed in with the polkas.
I noticed he was playing it either by memory or by ear.

Hi Ms. Judy,
I was once an amateur/enthusiast and it took me a great amount of practice and pedagogy from my mentors to be able to work with the field I love, so I'm not insensitive to the plight of others.

Hi CT64,
I bought that piece from:

p.s. Sweet Cornactually its *Sweet Horn* or to put a finer point on it: Horn in der Ferne = Distant Horn, alluding to the muted call of a horn in a distant valley. For Cavaille-Coll, it is a large-scale flute with a definite *horn formant* and a tinge of stringyness.

Thanks Corno Dolce,
I know the march, but not heard the bolero before.. Interesting piece.
I like very much Lefebure-Wely (Was organist at La Madeleine in Paris), I know several works of him, it is very light for the period.
Pacific 231 - Arthur Honneger?
Now I often wonder whether Lefebure-Wely had a bent towards the theatre and its organ... I wonder what he would make from the wanamaker or atlantic city. Most of his offerings that I know are very theatrical in nature.
Hi NEB
It would seem that your assumption has some validity save for that Lefebure-Wely lived before the Theatre Organ was born. But I do admit, some of his stuff is wacky. Recently, I played his *Bolero* on a five manual Allen TO-5Q Theatre Organ and I took some liberties in how I registered it - even I could hardly contain my laughter at how zany it can sound.
Seriously, Cesr Franck apparently held him in high esteem since Franck had dedicated an organ work to him. That in itself, to me, establishes Lefebure Wely's *Bona Fides*.
Cheers,
Corno Dolce
