Could any one tell me how they found preparing this quirky p&f by Alain?

Hi Jen

DO you play Organ? If you do, what piece(s) can you say jump right out at you?

No, I don't play unfortunately. I started learning piano late in life and have only been playing for 3 years. I would love to learn to play the organ one day but don't know anyone who teaches it where I live. I think it's the king of instruments! I especially like the French composers - I love Tournemire's L'Orgue Mystique (I have the complete cycles). I also have a soft spot for Percy Whitlock's Sonata in C minor, however!!!

What do enjoy playing?
