========================================================
What a pity. Playing the T & F in D minor is a means of showing off the skill
(or lack of it) of the performer. Learning it well enough to play it well
enough
for the public to hear it, while possibly not a challenge for organ
professionals,
is a challenge for me -- and I am 83 years old. But I am still learning it !!!
Hope to master it before I die.
The joy of hearing beautiful music, well played, takes effort, but the result
is worth the effort.
