Organ Book No. 1 (2018)

Organ Book No. 1 is a tribute to Johann Sebastian Bach, following the blueprints of his most typical genres for the organ: the Italian concerto, Chorale Prelude, Prelude and Fugue, Passacaglia and Trio Sonata. I conceived these works for historic organs; however, they can be equally well performed on any organ with a quick, responsive action and lively voicing.

The choices of registrations are up to the performer and is expected to vary depending on the instrument. My indications are not to be taken more than suggestions. I personally prefer combination of stops that are fewer in number but rich in color and have a singing quality. These pieces should be played with a lively, speech-like articulation and appropriate tempi to fit the instrument and room.
