Johann Christian Heinrich Rinck gehörte zu den Verfechtern der Notation von pedaliter-Orgelmusik auf drei Systemen, also mit separiert notierter Pedal-Stimme. Eine derartige Notation war sowohl bei Komponisten und Kopisten wie auch bei den Verlegern unbeliebt, hatte sie doch einen um bis zu 50% höheren Verbrauch an Papier zur Folge. Auch das vorliegende Werk wurde im Erstdruck in einer Notation auf zwei Systemen publiziert. Die vorliegende Ausgabe extrahiert den Erstdruck des Werkes in der Notation von zwei auf drei Systeme. Dem Wunsche Rincks durch eine Separierung des Pedal-Stimme in ein eigenes System nachträglich nachzukommen, war bei diesem Opus aufgrund einer schon zu Lebzeiten Rincks erschienenen Neuausgabe möglich. Zahlreiche Hinweise in dieser Neuausgabe notieren, wann das Pedal, wann Pedal und Manual zusammen und wann auch nur manualiter zu musizieren ist. Vom Doppelpedalspiel (wohl den recht schwach besetzten Pedalwerken der Orgeln seiner Zeit Rechnung tragend) macht Rinck in diesem Opus zudem nur selten Gebrauch. (Christoph Dohr).

Composed in 1980, Ten pieces for Organ by Eugene Gigout is a piece that is widely enjoyed. Featuring the renowned Toccata in B minor which is often played in recitals, a Scherzo in E major can also be found among these pieces. Well-known as an organist, Eugene Gigout was also a composer and one of the main organists in one of Paris' main churches: Saint Augustin. Really good for interpretations, he was also at improvisations..

Composer 's Note:
In writing these pieces I had in mind certain difficulties which worry most organists from time to time; and in order to combine, as it were, business with pleasure I thought it worthwhile to concentrate upon one aspect of organ technique in each piece, even at the risk of making them a little more difficult than others in this series.
In Procession the main difficulty lies in the pedals Arabesque, on the other hand could hardly have had a simpler pedal part: its object is to exercise the left hand in producing a smooth, running semi-quaver pattern Pageant with its cross-rhythms, is designed to produce well-disciplinedhands and feet that can, when required, work in conflicting rhythms.
I have kept the registration schemes as simple and straightforward as possible.
