Demonstrating a good technique

You can see that the small mouse who ventures out of his hole onto the keyboard will be able to get under OB's hands. This is the way a piano-teacher friend of mine used to teach his young pupils how to hold their hands correctly.

I don't know how OB learnt his organ-playing technique, but I do know that the sudden appearance of a blipper at his side does not put him off! He was sight-reading César Franck's Offertoire sur un Noël Breton in the local Methodist Church, for the entertainment of anyone visiting the art exhibition currently displayed there. If they only knew the populace of Abergavenny would have been flocking in, if only to get out of the rather wetting rain this afternoon.

This is an electronic organ by the way, and OB says the swell pedal is knackered. To see a better organ which he has played look here.

Here's the piece.
