Leo Sowerby Very slowly(II) from Sonatina. Kirill Jankowsky - Organist - pianist- improviser

Kirill Jankowsky plays: Leo Sowerby - Very slowly(II) from Sonatina This is very remarkable piece, very rarely played or mostly unknown. Also it’s very challenging to perform all chords and transitions clear on differennt types of organs which are not good for that, or with non-standart size of keys. Requires some complex and clumsy finger-substitutions An awkwardly thumb usage on lower keyboards is a common, typical method for Sowerby in many of his organ works. At this Eule-organ I play the Reed 8 solo as written, but at my Rieger-Kloss I have to play this Reed solo an octave lower using Schalmey 4“ instead Oboe 8 ( it’s too strident and loud for beginning and 4“ sounds much better in low octaves) This II-manual(III - is useless additional for baroque only) Eule gives a perfectly intonated Oboe but has no any 4“ Reeds
