did you just end up a the pub?

1. Perhaps the Toccata by Henri Nibelle? Manuals only until about 3 (?) pages before the end. Quite an engaging piece.

2. There was a thread regarding the Oxford Lent and Easter book this time last year. I purchased it having read favourable reviews on here, and there is a good amount of material in there. My congregation particularly enjoyed the Toccata on 'Aberystwyth' by David Bednall, and there's a wealth of quieter items in there, some of which I used as pre-service voluntaries. Nibelle mentioned above also wrote a collection of 50 Pieces, which is a useful tome to have at the console - though I'm unsure of its availability.

3. Until fairly recently I lived abroad, where an organist friend of mine and I used to frequently do this. And it inevitably always ended up at the pub.

Thanks everyone for your interest and help with these topics. As DD said these posts about repertoire are very helpful. I have got a lot of new and wonderful things on my 'to learn' list. Glad to see Fleury get mentioned. I discovered his music a few years ago.

... Franz Schmidt toccata in C (Austrian - could this be the most difficult toccata ever written?) ...

 

There is also that (Op. 12) written by Fernando Germani (and recorded at Chichester Cathedral, by Nicolas Kynaston). I believe that this work may vie with the Schmidt for this accolade. (Or do you mean the one he wrote in C minor? This one is indeed extremely difficult.)

 

(Although this one was recorded live at a recital in Bruges Cathedral, in 2009.)
