I have just spent THREE HOURS pouring over the sheet music for Widor's
Toccata. Oh my GOD!! This is sooo hard... It sounds pretty neat when you
get it right though. ;-)
Trouble is, when you're decoding notes one at a time, at the rate of
about 3 chords per minute, the sound is so labourious and disjointed
that you can't tell what you're actually trying to play. Once you manage
to speed it up sufficiently, you go "oh, I recognise that - that's
*this* big", and it's much easier to play because you know what it's
meant to sound like. But until you get to that... hmm, Bb + D major?
Like, WTF? That can't be r-- oh, I see! It's a suspence note! The chord
right after that resolves it. Cool.
I'm pretty tired now. But hey, I reached page 6! :-D (Just about.)
Hey... actually... when you consider that the whole work is 10 pages,
that's actually way further than I thought! o_O Wow.
Now all I need is a real pipe organ! ;-)

I was wrong. Top of page 5, actually.

I lead singing at a church which employs congregational singing (and
nothing else) as its musical part of worship. I know about one-sixth to
one quarter of the songs in the song book.
I can pick up a song very easily if I hear the melody, but learning by
reading (even though we use shaped notes in the songbooks) has always
been difficult for me. The last time I was asked to lead a new song I
fired up Sonix 2.0 (an old Amiga program) to learn it. I found out why
the song was obscure, and haven't led it since.
Regards,
John

If by "page 5", you actually mean "page 4".
What can I say? It's a big score, it's hard to keep track of where
you're up to...
But *today*, I have reached page 5. AND IT'S MENTAL!!
