This Liszt _Fantaisie_ is the most extraordinary piece for the organ there is

This Liszt _Fantaisie_ is the most extraordinary piece for the organ there is. It lasts forty minutes and the interest is sustained throughout. Just as Mozart in his _Fantaisie et Sonate in C minor_ foresaw the modern piano, so Liszt, writing this _Fantaisie_ more than half a century ago, appears to have foreseen the instrument of a thousand resources which we have to-day.
