O Gott Du Frommer Gott - Brahms
Oh God, you righteous God
you source of good gifts,
without whom nothing exists that does exist,
from whom we have everything :
give me a healthy body
and grant that in such a body
there may remain an inviolate soul
and a pure conscience.
I haven't been blogging much recently due to my upcoming and final organ exam. I'll be playing this piece of Brahms to a critical ear on Thursday, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

Of course, truth cannot contradict itself: we read and appreciate the various different thoughts and quotes but we well know which is the real truth.
Great talent. You can make it.
I don't know if you've alreadyhad this final exam and I wish you well but, please, don't cross you fingers at the wrong time.

Did I tell you that my Dad was the organ player of the oldest playable organ in Germany? Kiedrich? The organ is from 1500something.
He played it for over 60 years. He started as a boy.
