Improvisations on favourite classic melodies Manuals

Now here's a new idea: instead of asking our composers to work their improvisatory magic on hymn tunes we allocated the main theme of some of the world's favourite classical melodies. The result is a really pleasing new genre which we think will find favour with organists.

All the pieces are written for those with a moderate technique and there are two versions - with or without pedals.
