Organ and Registration[edit]
The registration for all of the preludes should consist of foundational stops. The Vox Humana should NOT be used. Bloch calls for real "Organ" tone, rather than "picturesque color."[1]
Scores and Editions[edit]
The Service Playing exam requires the use of G. Schirmer 50328700.
The score is available for purchase online from Music Dispatch and Sheet Music Plus.
Recordings[edit]
Organ Music from Israel, performed by Yuval Rabin in 2001, includes a recording of all six preludes.
