George E Whiting (1840-1923), a student of W T Best, was head of the organ department at New England
Conservatory and organist for the Boston and Cincinnati Music Halls. His
Concert Etudes, Opus 51,
represent his most significant organ composition since his
Grand Sonata of 1890.
It was published in Boston by subscription in 1904. This is a major work by an
AGO founder from eight years after the AGO was founded;
indeed, it is an important work in the literature. Difficult.
