Birthday boy no. 3 for the month is one Friedrich Julius Reubke, 23rd March, 1834, in Hausneindorf, Germany. Here is one of those composers who was tragically lost at the age of 24 due to tuberculosis, but left some worthy works. It is considered that his Sonata on the 94th Psalm is among the very best of the Romantic movement... I did give it a listen, but I admit that I struggled to stay the course. This very short wee piece gives you a taste of his style, with not too much of the bombast in the larger piece.
What a loss at such a young age. He was so talented I love an organ. Cannot imagine the talent and coordination it takes to move hands and feet Hugs cecilia
Love that choir organ,(I think that is what a free standing small organ is called); they always have such a gorgeous sound, and that trio was so lovely. Three voices, as one. I wish my son who took four or five years of organ lessons would still play...he only just began playing piano at church again, sometimes...after many years of not. So sad when he shuns his talent. (He was playing both for services when he was in highschool.)
So beautiful

I am always left admiring people who can play such complex instruments.
