My next public recital will be both piano and organ. The church has a wonderful Kawai grand piano and is supplemented by excellent acoustics. I found that during these lunchtime recitals, piano performances attracted more audience attendance. Perhaps this is because the piano is a very familiar instrument to the average person.
So I’m trying something new—incorporating piano and organ at this lunchtime recital on July 16. I hope that more people can get a ‘taste’ of organ music that day.
What do you think of my idea?
Here is my proposed programme:
Piano
Muzio Clementi
Sonatina in F Major, Op. 36, No. 4
I. Con spirito II. Andante con espressione III. Rondó: Allegro vivace
Frederic Chopin
Waltz in A-flat major Op. 69, No. 1
Nocturne in C-sharp minor Op. posth
Organ
Toccata (from 12 Pièces pour orgue) - Theodore Dubois
Attende Domine, Op. 8 - Jeanne Demessieux
Festival Toccata - Percy Fletcher

Nice idea. Perhaps even better to use the sandwich formula: start with a crowd pleaser on organ, than the piano music, than organ again. A great starter would be, I think, Prelude in classical style, by Gordon Young.
Thanks for the tip! However this becomes a logistical problem as the piano is downstairs and the organ is in the loft. So I’ll start with piano first and end with a bang on the organ 😄. Ahhh, the Gordon Young is indeed a crowd pleaser 😉

You’re so inspiring 🖤
Love that you share your passion on here. Music is such a beautiful art.
I was a violinist for many years in my younger years. ^^
Best of luck for your recital this summer 🤩 🎹
Thank you! I was a violinist too! I picked up the organ much later in life...it’s never too late really 😉 I’m in Australia, so it will actually be Winter ❄️

Awww! Wow that is amazing! Would have loved to hear you play the 🎻.
I will have to google what organ is 🙈
Oh wow! Out of curiosity, is an Australian winter any cold?
See my blog posts on my entries for the Secrets of Organ Playing Contest. I have been active since week 7. It’s usually a dry winter where I’m based. The snowfields aren’t too far away though.

Congratulations for publicly committing to play this recital. I'm sure your audience will appreciate both piano and organ sounds... Will you record the piano pieces for Steemit Open Mic Contest?
Good idea. I haven’t found any piano enthusiasts on Steemit yet.
