I bet that John Stanley never heard it played like that! I don't think he even had pedals back then - but it works brilliantly. I play this piece, but never like that! Thanks.
"I will not play upon a gridiron!" So fulminated an English organist of the earlier 19th C, a pompously anti-pedal attitude that became a national embarrassment when Mendelssohn returned from a continental tour, effectually stating that he had to visit Europe to find an organ for playing his own music! Two hundred years of development lost because of arrogance! Consider - at the time Samuel Pepys heard and admired a small 2-manual organ at some London church, the Dutch organ builder Bader had already erected this magnificent organ at Zutphen two decades since! Kudos, Minne Veldman, for your musical artistry.
Hello Minne, I've never heard Stanley like that before! Magnificently& wonderful!👏👏👏👏👏

Thank you! Come on, play it a little differently from now on... 🙂
