Transcriptions are essentially a way to teach and to introduce people to the great symphonic and opera music. It is also an ancient musical practice which consist of modelling on one's owninstrument a music page which was intended for another one (or, more often, other ones), in order to create thus the impression that the page was written since the very beginning for that instrument.This Transcriptions Collection was born from my desire to extend to a greater audience those compositions which, even though they are well known, are seldom presented during live performances.

These are pieces that I wanted to present in an organ version that could allow me, in addition to my colleagues, to perform them convincingly on the pipe instrument and then to make it accessible to all music l...
