Thanks, The fugue tempo is critical for a 2 in-the-bar 6/8. I can take the tempo to quaver = 190 but will it take it to the gigue tempo? Very 'detache'...
Sorry Dee, The Fugue bar I mean is number nine (not eight as I previously stated;) Instead of stressing the 1st and 4th beat of the 6/8 measure, I in this...

Hi Siggy, I 'm not sure if Berveiller was a pupul of Dupre. I may have been dreaming too but Demessieux and he were linked with Dupre. I'll check on that after...

Don't worry about it, I get it all the time!! Once, a very aggressive guy came up to the organ loft after the Ascention service and nearly assaulted me. I was ...
Yes, I agree with electronic organs being a problem with loudness and the inability of the organist to monitor the balance. But this is an installation ...
