A beautiful piece of music by French composer Louise Farrenc, Élévation (sometimes called Élévation pour l’offre divin) was adapted as a piece for organ based on Etude in F-sharp major (No.19) from 20 Etudes de moyenne Difficulté pour Piano, Op. 42 (20 Etudes for piano of average difficulty). The two pieces are almost identical, except for the key and the tempo markings. It is worth noting that, although this arrangement is set at the original tempo, Farrenc, herself, is known to have said that ‘sometimes the French play the Andante and the Adagio too fast’.

This arrangement includes alternative parts for tenor horn, treble-clef trombone/euphonium and tuba.
