Joao de Sousa Carvalho - Allegro

A charming little piece which I've not found on YT yet, by the Portuguese composer Carvalho. This is played on the 1878 Brindley & Foster organ at Pembridge, Herefordshire using the Swell Lieblich Gedackt.

Lovely performance, and at a lively brisk tempo! Am a little surprised you didn't avail of the Great manual to vary the repeats, though ...

@douloschristou1 thank you for your comment - is that considered a good thing to do? The flute on the Great on this organ is very much bigger and not quite as crisp, beautifully voiced though it is!

Been searching for the sheet music since hearing it played by Ian Tracy. Do you know the publisher?

[timmeh1507]

@bobbell9 It's in a 2nd hand book I have called 'Silva Iberica' which is/was published by Schott. You should be able to find a copy somewhere, it's not a particularly old book!

Loved that! Your tempo is perfect...I bet you are good with Scarlatti :) post some more please.

[timmeh1507]

@BeaconCampana thank you :) well I'll try and do some more, trying to find a good place to put the camera!

[douloschristou1]

Was thinking rather of the 'varying' of the repeats... I know this usually with the Trompeta Real - have used a reed added in the repeats to great effect. But I hear what you're saying about balance & voicing.

This is the 3rd movment of a sonata.

The first movment is a allegro and the second is a larghetto.

@bobbell9 Thanks! I have now found it on Schott's site ISBN: 979-0-001-04929-0.

Schott No: ED 4215. Beware there are two volumes of Silva Iberica but these details should give the correct one.

@dgb253 thanks, it is a lovely little piece, looks easy but there's actually plenty to trip you up in it!
