This 5-volume graded series of organ music by J. S. Bach (vols. 1-2 for manuals only, vols. 3-5 for manuals and pedal) provides a wonderful selection of pieces for all players. It includes the essential pieces in all genres - choral preludes, preludes and fugues, toccatas, trio sonata movements, etc. - as well as a variety of lesser known works. Each volume contains a general introduction for players drawn from Marsden Thomas's long experience as a teacher, with advice on
registration, tempo, ornamentation, touch and articulation, fingering and pedalling, etc. There are also concise notes on each piece by renown Bach scholar, Professor Russell Stinson, addressing source issues, structure and symbolism, and, for the chorale preludes, information on the original hymn melody and
text on which it is based. The whole is an authoritative and fully practical introduction to this cornerstone of the organ repertoire, with pieces presented in highly practical form for teachers and students.
