  A toccata is a virtuoso piece of music, typically for a keyboard or plucked string instrument featuring fast-moving, lightly fingered or otherwise virtuosic passages.

  interesting choice of subject and the flash seems well positioned. would it be possible to see more of his face,to see that toccato and fugue reflected in there.might have to give up on the pews window and shoot in portrait mode closer to the organist ?
