Hey everyone, I'm new here so please excuse any rule-breaking that might occur
I have very recently (about a week ago) started playing the organ and am now looking for pieces to play. Now, I have been playing the piano for about 19 years so the manuals will not be a problem. (We don't have a grade system in Germany, I looked at past lists of pieces however and have played grade 8 pieces with no difficulty)
I have started learning the Toccata in D Minor (obvious choice), which has very little pedal work and is no problem. I haven't yet progressed to the Fugue (haven't had the time), so can't comment on how well it would work for me.
It would be great if anyone had a couple of suggestions for me, I've been looking around YouTube for inspiration, but apart from Widor's toccata (which is most likely out of reach at the moment) I haven't really found anything.
I'm also thinking about the shoes. I used to dance a few years back and still have the dancing shoes. They work reasonably well, although I feel like the heels (about 4 cm at the highest point in the back) are a bit too high for my liking. (They're not high heels, just simple lace-up dancing shoes.) I'm thinking about having them changed by a shoemaker but wouldn't mind buying a different pair.
If anyone has progressed this far, thanks for reading this! I can't believe I didn't know of this community before!
