• Welcome to the Pipe Organ Forum! This is a part of the open community Magle International Music Forums focused on pipe organs (also known as "church organs"), organists, organ music and related topics.

    This forum is intended to be a friendly place where technically advanced organists and beginners (or even non-organists) can feel comfortable having discussions and asking questions. We learn by reading and asking questions, and it is hoped that the beginners (or non-organists) will feel free to ask even the simplest questions, and that the more advanced organists will patiently answer these questions. On the other hand, we encourage complex, technical discussions of technique, music, organ-building, etc. The opinions and observations of a diverse group of people from around the world should prove to be interesting and stimulating to all of us.

    As pipe organ discussions can sometimes become lively, it should be pointed out that this is an open forum. Statements made here are the opinion of the poster, and not necessarily that of the forum itself, its administrator, or its moderators.

    In order to post a new topic - or reply to existing ones - you may join and become a member by clicking on Register New User. It's completely free and only requires a working email address (in order to confirm your registration - it will never be given away!). We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

    Many kind regards

first toccata

Hi: Would like to learn my first 'real' French toccata. Where should I start. Recommendations please - and I like rare stuff too.
I have mastered a good few of the Bach Pre. and Fu. so I have a grade 10-ish technique i figure. I am not afraid of the pedals having been trained to play hymn tunes with my feet with improvised upper accompaniment. Thanks for the recommendations. L.

One that is not played as much which I enjoy playing is: Toccata pour Grand Orgue .. Gaston Belier There are 2 recordings on youtube of this piece. In fact I believe I have a post here on this Toccata

Hi
If you want to play the toccatas I have written, I will give you the scores. You can hear them somewhere in this forum or on Youtube, channel Organcomposer.
Search for Toccata Negra, Toccata Romana, Retroccata, Toccata in E major (Come back toccata), in G minor, in C minor...
It may be French music because I am French.
Friendly. J-Paul
