An organ duet - quite a rare thing - based on the theme 'O Filii et Filiae', a traditional 15th-century melody. The faster variations use a toccata-like figuration, and the more peaceful ones make use of 'bluesy' harmonies.

Klappentext
An organ duet - quite a rare thing - based on the theme 'O Filii et Filiae', a traditional 15th-century melody. The faster variations use a toccata-like figuration, and the more peaceful ones make use of 'bluesy' harmonies.
