Kawai Piano Prices: Seventy-Nine Chorales for the Organ: Opus 28 (Belwin Edition) [Paperback] Review

Seventy-Nine Chorales for the Organ: Opus 28 [Paperback]

This is a very useful method for organ players and musicians.Marcel Dupré,well known for his organ method published in French (A.Leduc ed) in 1927 meets here an application in the Seventy-Nine Chorales op 28.With progressive difficulties, it has the advantage to secure the student with explicit fingering and a recall of execution principles previously exposed by the author in his method of organ playing, as few other methods do on how to play Bach.Details of execution are in English, and French.

Church organists may find in this method a pleasant way for brilliant execution of serious organ music, and will get the performer to a new point of excellence facing the audience. Some of these Chorales inspired byJ.S. Bach are pure beauties.The only "bug" in this book is the inappropriate binding when open on organ or piano desk.Despite this small point, this study tool is a must.

Product Description:
Marcel Dupre prepared these short works, not as Â'another versionÂ' of the famous chorales and chorale preludes of J. S. Bach, but rather as a means of making the beginning organist aware of the beautiful chorale melodies and to prepare him or her for the study of BachÂ's works. Included are registration suggestions, fingering, pedaling notation, and dynamics. This is an important book for the development of the organistÂ's technical and artistic skills, and at the same time for the presentation of beautiful organ chorales.
