Sorabji's book of essays MI CONTRA FA: The Immoralisings of a Machieavellian Musician (Porcupine Press, 1947) is brilliant, hilarious, much underknown.

Elsewhere, lots of Sorabji piano music is worth hearing-- playing too, if you have the fortitude & chops-- and it's not all gargantuan.

Definitely, Ubu. I'm an Ogdon fan anyway and though one wishes he'd maybe tackled this at a different point in his the OC's 'impossibility'-- and what we learn by trying-- is parts of its 'gestalt' etc. Would be interesting to hear say Marc-Andre Hamelin tackle it in the studio, just to hear where complete technique and time for interpretation takes us but...

Have you ever heard Sorabji's organ music?
