SOP Podcast #47 - What Does It Take To Play An Organ Duet (by Vidas PInkevicius, DMA and Ausra-Motuzaite-Pinkeviciene, DMA)\n\nWelcome to Secrets of Organ Playing Podcast #47!\n\nToday is a very special podcast. Ausra and I are in the beautiful resort town of Nida on the peninsula of the Baltic coast. The entire region (Curonian Spit) is protected by UNESCO.\n\nLast night we performed an organ duet recital where we played 6 Sonatas for 4 Hands by Franz Seydelmann (you can see the engraving from the title page of the original publication below). It's the second time we appeared in public with this program (the first was 6 weeks ago at Vilnius University St. John's church).\n\nIn this conversation we will talk about what does it take to prepare and perform an organ duet recital and how to deal with the element of surprise when the organ doesn't behave.\n\n\u200bEnjoy and share your comments below.\n\u200b\nAnd don't forget to help spread the word about the SOP Podcast by sharing it with your organist friends.\n\nThanks for caring.\n\nRelated links:\nSix Sonatas for Two Persons at One Keyboard by Franz Seydelmann (horizontal layout: http://amzn.to/1ZZKYYv) and vertical layout: (http://www.utorpheus.com/product_info.php?products_id=226&language=en)
