Interesting organ sound and nice registration again.  Thank you Unruh.  I thought I heard some special chord progressions in Frescobald’s music here.

I read that he was was the first to use the so-called tonal fugue, instead of the real one. After reading this explanation I undersood what I heard.
”In a fugue, a real answer and a tonal answer differ in their treatment of the intervals between the voices. A real answer maintains the same intervals as the subject, while a tonal answer adjusts certain intervals to ensure they fit within the new key”.

This is not a fugue, but a toccata is always followed by a fugue. Anyway, there is something interesting in the chordprogression.

Thank you Unruh,for liking to discover composers who are not always known even to specialists. I can agree with your saying that they are exciting discoveries.

I once got a copy of a lost piece, not so known composer. It was not in any UK libraries. Piece Published in 1889. then been lost/unpuiblished, then one assistant organist at Hereford Cathedral have a copy!!  My friend got it and I got it from my friend.  And now I have a copy of a copy!!!
  Nice to do this rare music with Organteq. Not the first, but probably the second in a LONG time!
You sometimes mention about "rare scores" - well this truly is!! It was 2021.

Because of your interest in composers who are not always known, I attach the piece and the whole story, for you Unruh.
I might upload it as a new post, later, as video,again because we have so many new users that don’t have time to  go trough all 11,187 posts in this sub forum

Hello Stig,
the composer George Robertson Sinclair was unknown to me. I had a look on Youtube and discovered other interesting compositions.
Many thanks for the tip
Best regards
