A Voluntary for the Organ
186536007London: William Prowse Royal Musical Repository 456 1865. Folio. 1f. recto title verso blank 5 i blank pp. Engraved.<br/><br/>Slightly browned. Re-issue of the first edition originally published 1828 by Willis. KO 623 p. 647. <br/><br/>"Given Wesley's fame as a keyboard player it is not surprising that keyboard music should form an important part of his output and the largest category of his music published in his lifetime. Despite a good deal of recent publishing activity however only a small proportion of his keyboard music is available in modern editions. In the organ music Wesley's grand manner is heard at its best in the op.6 voluntaries while a more intimate and miniaturist side to his musical character is apparent in the Twelve Short Pieces."
