Subject: RE: New (Old) Piano
Black Walnut -

Schweitzer took immense pleasure-his ability to improvise harmonies on the piano. At the age of five, Albert began piano lessons and composed harmonies for hymns at age seven. When his legs were long enough to reach the organ pedals, age eight, Albert started to play and on occasion accompanied the services in church.

Though noted as humanitarian he recorded a wonderful collection of Bach organ pieces and was a scholar on Bach and become the world's leading expert on organ construction that would prove worthy of the master's work.

He would return from Africa and give organ recitals. Recordings from 1930's have been remastered to CD.

Sincerely,
