Experience teaches every church organist that the ability to extemporize even in modest fashion is not only a very convenient thing, but also ,very often indeed, a positive necessit} .N atural aptitude and intelligent practice are the foundations of good extemporizing, as indeed they are of good organ playing. Natural aptitude alone will not enable one either to play the organ well or to extemporize on it acceptably; one must practice extemporizing regularly, day by day, over and over again, just as one practices the pieces in ones organ repertoire. A seventeenth-century writer (F rancis Quarles) puts it somewhat inelegantly, but squarely, when he writes I see no virtues where I smell no sweat. To invent and play, on the spur of the moment and without specific preparation, an unwritten piece of music, long or short as the case may demand, conforming reasonably to the principles of musical composition, is to extemporize. Since improvisation is something that forms a part of the business of every organist, the present little book is extended as a helping hand. No attempt is made to teach more than can be taught, to do more than give the player a fair start, nor to induct him into the mysteries of the whole-tone scale, theW agnerian endless melody, or the modern dissonant style. The musical illustrations have been written to give the average organist with a fair amount of harmonic knowledge and rather more than a fair amount of musical intelligence, an idea of what is expected of him. These are first lessons.
