This movement, contemplative and mystical in nature, employs the octatonic scale that consists of the alternating pattern of whole-step and half-step intervals. Composers such as Olivier Messiaen and Naji Hakim employ this scale in their compositions. The opening measures are somewhat reminiscent to Messiaen's last movement of the L'ascension where the chords are performed very slow with legato articulation. The first and the second themes are rhythmic transformations of both themes from the previous movement, making the sonata in a cyclical form. The piece requires careful phrasing of the melodic lines and appreciation of modern music. The second movement is suitable for devotional use, lenten and Easter-week seasons, and recital use. If you love to listen to Messiaen's organ works, then this piece is worth looking into. Enjoy it.
