Toccata by Gaston Bélier

[Richard Russell]

Rather than raid the ever-dwindling archive of 1980s music transcriptions by the likes of Ron Stickley, I thought I would make a new one myself!

The trouble is, I'm not a musician so much of the time was spent carefully counting up or down the lines of the stave to find the right note (I know - I greatly regret not learning to play the piano).

Still, persistence paid off so here is Gaston Bélier's 'Toccata pour Grand Orgue' (1912) transcribed by me to 'Z80 Music' format and played by BBC BASIC for SDL 2.0.

You can run it in your own browser here. I'm not entirely sure why you'd want to, although since making the recording I have fixed the one transcription error I've noticed (I only spotted it when listening on headphones). You may have to click on the screen to turn on the sound.
