I enjoyed it.. a little modern tonality for me in places with almost a cluster mess of chords at times. Widor had a similiar problem at times too and this does in places remind me of the 5th --Great pedal work. My hat is off to anyone who can compose this level whether I fully appreciate it or not. With her registration seems to fit the installation of the instrument and delay time.
This nightmare of a toccata, which would not be out of place in a gothic horror film, evokes an apocalyptic landscape of unimaginable bleakness. I love it!
