BACH'S ORGAN MUSIC
Sir,-I would like to join Thomas E. Sims in his appreciation of the Bach organ series, concluded recently from 2YA. Like him, I was misled at first on being told that the "O Lamb of God" prelude was from the. Little Organ Book, till I found it two volumes later -by which time the piece was well started. How much better would it aan been had we known in advance, all the items of each session, so that we could have been prepared with our music! Instead, the announcer hurriedly gave out at each period (in English translations of the titles) the four or five items then to be played in a string, leaving us to find them as best we could among the German titles (listed alphabetically) as used by John Sebastian. Often there are three or four on the one hymn. Why not always have all the items of the organ sessions scheduled in advance? It would save us having to dash away and find the musi¢, ‘fhissing the first part of the piece meanwhile.
