>> Organ Preludes. The composer himself is music director of the Christus
>> Kirche in Mannheim, Germany, where it is still the tradition to improvise

>> styles. Swing Five, with its walking bass line, seems inspired by Duke
>> Ellington. The second movement, Bossa Nova, is reminiscent of Antonio
>> Carlos Jobim, whereas the last movement is a boisterous tribute to
>> Leonard Bernstein's West Side Story.
