SOPP451: It really is possible to relearn to play the organ at age 64!
This question was sent by David, and I asked him how his organ practice is going, and he wrote:\n \n\u201cVery well! And I played a full service - as substitute organist - last Sunday. And they applauded after the postlude. Miracles really do happen (when you practice)! Played \u2018Lobet den Herren mit Pauken und Zimbeln - Alla H\xe4ndel\u2019 by Karg- Elert (also listed as \u2018Festliche Musik Alla H\xe4ndel\u2019). For the prelude, I played \u2018Heut\u2018 Triumphiert Gottes Sohn\u2019 - using your very helpful fingering!\n \nThis is the first time I\u2019ve played as a substitute organist at a different church (beyond my own church) for many years. So it really is possible to relearn to play the organ (at age 64)!\u201d
