• 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.

We strive to make this a friendly and informative forum for anyone interested in pipe organs and organ music.

Hello, my name is Severin, and I was wondering if anyone here might be able to help me find the the full version of Albert Renaud Toccata in D minor, and of course on the pipe organ all i have found are recordings of string instruments. I thank anyone who can help me find it.

Albert Renaud toccata

Hello - I've been trying to find anything about my grandfather, Albert Renaud. He died before my parents even met and I have no info on him at all. I don't even know if he's this composer, but I'm a natural at music and so are many members of my family. I wonder if anyone has a picture of him or a way to get more information on him. If so, please e-mail me, and post a thread.
Oh - and I do enjoy the pipe organ. I had a friend who used to build and maintain them. I had the privilege of helping him tune the one in my church.
Thanks for your time and input.

Nice piece. Has anyone on the forum played it? Is it of comparable difficulty to the Toccata from Suite Gothique? The recording link above is quite "wet", so I couldn't pick out everything that was going on, but it sounded like there were the typical toccata technique of lots of repeated patterns of semi-quaver which lie reasonably OK under the fingers.

The performance above wascertainly being played at a pretty impressive pace!
