O Carl Welnrich, noted organist appearing in concert at the First Methodist church this Sunday afternoon, has selected a pro gram of organ masterpieces from the 17th ccnturv to tho present day. To these he has added novelties. Centering his recital upon the unexcelled music of Johann Se bastian Bach, Mr. Weinrich will play two works based on hymn tunes, and tho favor ite Toccata and Fugue in d minor, musifl heard to brilliant advantage on the organ. Thd achievements of the 18th century Bach wen built on various powerful influ ences of the 17th century. Mr. Weinrich shows some of these inflflenccs in the first part of his program. Bach's early works were sparked by the rhapsodic imagination of Buxtehude. He copied by hand music of the Frenchman Couperin, in order to ttch himself. The contrast of loud and soft dy namics, so typical of music of the Baroque period, will bt heard in a delightful Swre linck echo-style composition. Muss lovers often hear Scarlatti Sonatas on the harpsichord or piano. They will an ticipate their effect on the organ. Everyone will enjoy the tinkle of Haydn's Pieces for Mechanical Clock.
