Joseph Haydn - Pieces for a musical clock 1792, 1-3 ("Arlesheim")

These pieces are very suited to make a so-called "heavy" organ program a little lighter, for instance with three groups of two or three pieces placed after the beginning, in the middle and towards the end. I like to combine them with some "light" pieces of my own, to balance a program based on, for instance, Bach and Brahms or Reger. Here are number one, two and three:


I am not yet pleases with the performance. In number one, the first two ornaments for the upper voice at the beginning are not "crisp and tasty", the timing of number two should be better and in number three I play a f natural instead of a f-sharp. That's what is called lifelong learning.
