Some (hopefully enjoyable/amusing) fluff from Washington National Cathedral.
Raffaele Manari was an instructor of sacred music at the Pontifical Institute in Rome at the beginning of the 20th century. His claim to fame is principally to have been Fernando Germani's organ teacher, for whom he wrote this cutesy little piece.

Outstanding virtuosity! I remember watching/listening to Virgil Fox do the Middleshulte pedal solo back in the 50's and this performance of the Manari demonstrates every bit as much technique. Bravo! I will follow your career with great interest.
