This piece is Opus 122 No. 4 Herzlich tut mich erfruen (My Heart Exults With Rapture) by Brahms (1833 - 1897). In this piece, Brahms exentuates the melody by adding the pedal along with it. This brings it out over the tenor and alto. The inner voices are intricately intertwined and serve as motion as well as harmonic movement. This piece was hard for me to learn at first, because of the many moving notes. Once I isolated the melody & pedal together and then practiced the tenor and alto, it made more sense. There is so much going on in each measure that I only hope I was able to capture all if Brahms' delicate phrasings and harmonic movement. Enjoy 😊🎹🎶❤

Great to see your entry this week. I haven't played any Brahms on organ so it's good to hear you play it.
Thanks for your entry!
