Rachmaninoff Paganini Rhapsody transcription

It's for organ + orchestra.  For anyone interested in transcriptions this is a good vid to watch.  It's a thorough walk through of how the transcriber went about the task and navigated the various musical challenges.  Lots of performance on the instrument too, not just talk.

Made a Liszt. Need new Handel's for Soler panel & Alkan foil. Will Faure Stein on the way to pick up Mendels' sohn. Josquin get Wolfgangs Schu with Clara. Gone Chopin, I'll be Bach
