Bach's music, in which I do, too.. The Dorian, Passacaglia........to many to be named of...great great pieces.. Mendelssohn's Sonatas (he wrote 6) are great too... I was wondering whether you would like to listen to some "French" organ music.. unlike German, they are much colorful in texture.... ever hear of the infamous Widor Toccata from his organ Symphony No.5? Almost every organist play this repertoire.. Marcel Dupre's prelude and fugue, Variation sur un Vieux Noel, Cortege and Litany, .......................... Poulenc's organ concerto.... Saint-Saens has many, but I am not a big fan of his... his Symphony No.3 is a "organ" symphony... Cesar Franck's Prelude, Fugue et Variation............ Messiaen's L'ascension, Messe de la Pentecote............ Reger's passacaglia and Fugue,................ there are too many....... Very flavorful...well, vibrant I should say...in texture if you listen to French organ music as compare to the German school... Seems to me, you love J.S. Bach's music, in which I do, too..

I think it would be pretty much the same for organ, but I don't know for sure : ) I know that for the piano it's early-to-mid advanced.

Some of the more popular pieces include: - Passacaglia and Fugue for Organ in C minor, BWV 582 - Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, "Dorian", BWV 538 (This is a different toccata in D Minor. Yours is most likely the BWV 565). - Prelude and Fugue for Organ in D Major, "Little", BWV 532 - Toccata, Adagio and Fugue for Organ in C Major, BWV 564 - Pastorale for Organ in F Major, BWV 590 - Prelude and Fugue for Organ in E Flat Major, "St. Anne", BWV 552 - Prelude and Fugue for Organ in E Minor, "Wedge", BWV 548 ... And many more. I could go on. You can find any or all of these pieces in a single recital disc of Bach's organ music. Notable organists in this repertory include Helmut Walcha, Peter Hurford, Marie-Claire Alain and Simon Preston. I have the recordings by all four organists (though not of the same pieces). A good starting point might be the recital disc by Peter Hurford (Decca 443 485-2) If Bach bores you after a while, then you can fast forward to the 19th-20th century, where organ music is dominated by French composers: Cesar Franck: - Grande piece symphonique in F Sharp Minor, Op. 17 - Pastorale in E Major - Final in B Flat Major Marcel Dupre: - 79 Chorales, Op. 28 - Symphonie-Passion, Op. 23 - Variations on an Old Noel, Op. 20 Maurice Durufle: - Prelude and Fugue on the name of Alain, Op. 7 - Suite, Op. 5 Charles-Marie Widor: - Symphony No. 1 in C Minor - Symphony No, 2 in D Major - Symphony No. 5 in F Minor - Symphony No. 3 for Organ and Orchestra (the other 3 symphonies are for solo organ) Bach wrote loads of organ music. Some of the more popular pieces include:

- Passacaglia and Fugue for Organ in C minor, BWV 582
- Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, "Dorian", BWV 538 (This is a different toccata in D Minor. Yours is most likely the BWV 565).
- Prelude and Fugue for Organ in D Major, "Little", BWV 532
- Toccata, Adagio and Fugue for Organ in C Major, BWV 564
- Pastorale for Organ in F Major, BWV 590
- Prelude and Fugue for Organ in E Flat Major, "St. Anne", BWV 552

You could try "Vela, Together We Await The Storm" by The Human Abstract And even if it's not what you heard, it's still a fantastic song. Hmm.
