When some pianists attempt to play a hymn at the organ, they frequently resort to playing nearly everything (repeated notes and moving notes) with a tiny separation. This is a common result of trying to play the organ without the benefit of a sustaining pedal and with under-developed organ listening skills.
It is extremely important to learn to recognize the difference between this approach, which is just “playing the piano at the organ,” and an approach that applies subtle variations of touch for musically expressive purposes. Listen to the two examples to the right. The first example is of the former type, and the second example is of the latter.
Accept the challenge to become an organist who gains full mastery over each listening skill, and who applies those skills in musically excellent hymn playing.
