The 10 most popular organ works on Sheet Music Plus
Every musician knows about Sheet Music Plus. It’s that place you go to for actual printed music (but there’s still downloadable music) second to IMSLP. SMP recently provided me with some data on their top 100k selling items. I spent some time parsing this data and pulled out the top 10 selling items for solo organ. Some of the music and collections were surprising to me! Do you own any of the publications below? I’d be interested to hear what you think. Leave a comment below.
