Aftermath
I gladly complied with the request to write a concertino for chest organ (positive). It starts with a happy foreplay. The second movement consists of variations on the well-known hymn “I sing with your heart and mouth”. Here the different sound possibilities can be demonstrated in the individual variations. The third movement is an ostinato. This results in changes in different timbres. The concertino ends with a festive sequel. (Lothar Graap)
