  • So is this a fugue? because the beginning is fuge-like I would say. But I don't know for sure.

  • @wolflover8765 It's fugue-like in the sense that the entrance of a theme happens in two voices in different keys (related by a fifth). But technically, it's freer than a fugue.

  • @smalin Thanks!

  • this is hypothic

  • Beautiful. :)

  • this makes me want to learn organ so bad!

  • @AppelMak Go for it!

  • @AppelMak until you see the sheet music to this :P

  • Thank you for this, perfect !!!! One day a guy say to you: "it's just a poor performance". hahaha = he is a poor man. Your performance is the best !!! Congratulation !!!!. Good Luck to you. Again Thanks a lot.

  • There's a number "2" there at 4'03''!!!! Genius and creative Bach!!!! How great thou art!

  • Behold, a human ear/bass clef* in the animation at 4:03, in the center of the screen. Ah that Bach.....

  • This Movement Brings me Tremendous Joy beyond any Words. I Was blown away Since the first second i heard this years ago.

  • I love this....simply beautiful

  • haha, I always try to get inspired to make music in a Bach'ish way.. I always give up after 3hours or something, those counterpoints and ideas are crazy!

  • @claus93Sethsen funny i allways thought that if i were to make music it would be based on Bach's style :) glad i;m nnot the only one

  • @stargirlsusan He is seen by many as the greatest composer that ever lived, myself included.

  • @RoyalGriffin123 I agree to that.

  • ar treebui sa existe un cult al acestei muzici Pacat ca nu se asculta...

  • played as a concerto..

  • I needed that thx *****

  • The reason why the rhythm sounds slightly off is because of the delay that an organ has between its lower and higher notes. Air is pumped through the tubes of the organ to make sound, so it takes longer for a note to sound when it is pumped through a larger and lower sounding tube. Great organists will try to eradicate this slight impression by trying to play the lower notes (the pedal notes) slightly earlier. It's a very difficult skill to master. Great piece!

  • @QuestingFaith What you say is more or less true, but there are places in this where the parts are out of sync much more than the amount caused by the inherent delay of the lower notes; it's just a poor performance.

  • @smalin Poor performance?? I beg to differ, I wish I could play it even half as good as this. :) Kudos to the organist, may not bet the best performance I've heard of this piece, but good performance nonetheless.

  • @adamworth1979  Thank you.

  • @QuestingFaith Very Interesting!

  • amazing as always

  • Pura vida!!!

  • At 3:37 on...this piece just soared into a dimension for me, and I literally screamed with glee! Thank you Bach, and Stephen!

  • Reramkable! and Bravo!

  • cool tune

  • jesus this music is freaked out ... haha

  • is it just me or did the main melody flip vertically halfway through the song?

  • @pieguyfry22 Yep. Bach often does that in his binary-form pieces.

  • are there polyrhythms in this? I'm confused...

  • @MortiCarthago No polyrhythms --- just straight 3/4 time, with the beats divided into two eighths or four sixteenths.

  • @smalin did bach use any polyrhythms, also the green brown one seems to be not perfectly in sync with the other two or something...? or maybe that's not it but I'm getting thrown off way more than usual by a bach piece.

  • @MortiCarthago I've added a link to the sheet music (PDF) to the FAQ; if you follow along with that, you can see where my playing is a little uneven.

  • @smalin I think this is my seventh time listening to this today. What an incredible piece...rapturous! The uneven rhythmic moments don't actually bother me, because it reminds me that this is human expression, and that this isn't just a machine visualizer.

  • @MatchbookD70 Yes! He may not be Glen Gould, but who's counting. This is a musician making music. Wonderful.

  • @smalin ah thanks a lot, I love the jumpy line (the green notes at the beginning)! Did bach use any polyrythms or did he not believe in them?

  • Too choppy...

  • @Enix5548 Yes, I agree. I recorded it on one instrument and played it back on another, and they were different enough that it didn't sound right. Maybe I'll re-do it.

  • Awesome!

  • Magnífico, bellisimo, sublime, gracias por compartirlo, saludos desde argentina, Ana.
