Congratulations Colin: this is a great result after some effort. And what's more, you chose a fairly fast tempo. Your interpretation is very enjoyable and honors Graham's work.
W O W ! Colin - I'm impressed (and very honoured you have recorded this composition!). I'm so sorry it caused you a lot of work . . . but I've really enjoyed the fruits of your labour - even if it did require two takes spliced together! (On my channel, the final uploaded version was one take . . . but after about fifty attempts before I achieved a result I thought was passable, with errors always in different bars - and I wrote the piece!). One of my favourite organ compositions is your 'Reverie' with its gorgeous harmonies. It made me want to be a little more adventurous with my own harmonic writing, so in a way, you are responsible for all those tricky bits in this 'Scherzoso' (though I still can't craft music as beautifully as you do, and never will). I'm guessing that, like me, you find a huge amount of pleasure in writing music for the King of Instruments, and when our music pleases others, all that effort seems worthwhile.Thank you for the pleasure you have given me . . . and forgive me for being inspired to create this particular piece!
It is hardly your fault it took my old fingers so long to learn it! I am still working on one particular piece from 40 years ago which I may yet record. That could take a lot of splicing. Thank you, anyway, for making the sheet music available.

I think it needs to have a scherzo feel but, actually, I take it at pretty much the same speed as Graham plays it.
