Selected Works for Organ

Organ Solo

By Johann Sebastian Bach

Great variety of familiar Bach works that will challenge an intermediate organist, but not intimidate. Very handy collection to have in your bag or bench.

The volume is a fantastic sampling of Bach's organ works. All pieces contained are useful, beautiful,and worthy of the time required for mastery. It contains works from the "little" preludes and fugues, the Orgelbuchlein, a Schubler chorale, the Pastorale in F, the famous Toccata and Fugue in D...

minor, and several major works. The volume provides a nice range of difficulty. Selections from the "little" preludes and fugues are fairly accessible. Next comes the selections from the Orgelbuchlein, Wachet Auf, and the Pastorale in F. The more advanced literature begins with the Cathedral prelude and fugue and ends with the very difficult "Great" Prelude and Fugue in G minor. It is a volume into which one can grow. Highly recommended!!

Great Value! Love it!

This is a very good selection of Bach organ works, but is not for the timid or inexperienced.

Don't think for one second that any of the music in this compilation is easy. It's not at all. There is a one page chorale that I thought would be quick to crank out, but is quite tough in coordination. Bach was masterful with his pedaling as you...

should know, and therefore his longer compositions in this book are tiring, but worth it. If you are looking for some good things to play in church, and get a wonderful effect, this is a good book to buy. It's hard also to pass up because it is so dang cheap! The music in this book IS what you expect, and it IS very satisfying to play. It is the essence of the wonderful instrument called the organ.
