I was not sure an organ could possibly do justice to this piece. Well, maybe I was wrong, not so bad…I’m using about same tempo as ”Jonathan Scott plays his organ arrangement of Winter (L'Inverno) from Antonio Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons" on the organ of Basilica de Santa Maria, Elche Spain” 2017.
Maybe we should not compare to an orhestra, this is a transcription for organ.
One can of course always listen to the original if one don’t like it. Anyway, I wanted to give it a try.
Music is about rain : ”Before the fire to pass peaceful, contented days while the rain outside pours down.”(words are from The Four Seasons sonnets). Left hand is my ”raindrops” and right hand play the ”violins” :-)
