Eugene Thayer (1838-1889), a contemporary of Dudley Buck and John Knowles Paine, was one of the early American organ virtuosi who composed many works for the organ. If you play a tracker organ, as did Thayer, this pedalling presents solid technique for your use; if you play an organ with electro-pneumatic action, you may want to change some of it, but in any case you will find these worthy of study and engaging for you and your listeners. Moderate. (compare Burnap’s Pleyel variations)
