Beautiful 👌
That next to last chord….IV DIMINISHED VII/V is soooo cool.
What a MONUMENTAL undertaking to learn this piece! Bravo!
Terrific playing by Lucas, and a very enlightening piece.
Wonderful. I once had the pleasure of hearing this live in Liverpool Anglican Cathedral. It was also stupendous.
Superb❤
Deceptively simple but showy! The 32-note runs are generally the same two patterns over and over, with the exception of a few raised tones here and there. Would be a good showpiece for a pianist transitioning to organ.
a little meandering but still enjoyable
It's exactly the point. That's the French toccata style.
Perhaps the acoustic instead has a more prominent part to play in completely transforming the character of the work?
