I used to play J.S. Bach's Toccata et Fugue. Great organ tune. I am sooo out of practice on the keyboard instruments.

I do need to start teaching my kids though and maybe that will get me back into it. Like I have the time.

The one in D minor? Mighty tune, for both hands and feat! I also liked to play the G minor fugue, aka the 'little fugue in G minor'.

Oh, I like the little Fugue in G too, but I never tried it. The D minor one is what I was refering to. There was a wonderful old movie called something like "The Pilgrams Path" where this guy plays the big pipe organ at a cathedral at the end of the film.

==========================================

It is a piece that is as well known to folks as Beethoven's fith symphony. J.S. Bach composed and used these works to test and 'break in' newly built/installed organs.

I remember that Frank Zappa played "Louie, Louie" on the organ at the Albert and Vicotria Hall (sp??) in the early 70s- can't remember the album though- don't start about if you can remember the 70s then you weren't really there, etc. 8)
