A Graded Anthology For Organ, Book 1
Product Details
Description
A Graded Anthology For Organ, Book 1 contains detailed guidance and dissection of the organ, its components, sounds and, of course, technique and playing, all of which supports the repertoire pieces in the later books.
This first book in the series, by renowned organist Anne Marsden Thomas, covers the four main areas of concern to organists of all levels: registration, musical expression, technique and the art of practising. Together with the graded anthologies in books 2-5, it is intended to be a complete training system for organists of all standards.
