...often that a program of organ music from the Thorough Bass period is given, like the one to be presented today at the Germanic Museum. With the exception of William Fenton, whose Concerto in B flat major (No. 3 for organ and orchestra opens the program, each of the composers represented has made some definite contribution to the literature of music...
