Pedal exercitium and Prelude [C-Dur] by JS Bach

[MegaDani141]

WOW, thats realy good

its REALY difficult ( i've played it too)

BUT you should play id louder ^^

[linkorgel]

I like to play it on a parallel pedal board on a full mechanical organ,

It´s more intresting. (;

Good played!

I think the Pedalexercitium is in g minor?!

I am a late-beginning adult organ student (about 3 years experience and very little piano beforehand) and I found the Bach pedal exercise just recently. I never knew it existed and it's been a real inspiration to watch and hear how fine organists like you do it. It's a real test of both concentration and accuracy and I'm gradually working through it. Congratulations on doing such a stellar job of it!

cool

could you tellme where can i get the partitures?

[Bachlives2]

Yeah that that is me.... I absolutely hate that pedal board. I had played these two pieces on a flat Pedal Board in Nebraska much faster with bigger registrations and better articulation and greater accuracy.. Here the Pedal gets muddy and flabby with 16's in the Exercitium. I decided to clear it up a bit. I don't like concave radiating boards for any music, And yes the bench is to low but the blocks that I am using raise it about 4 inches,,,,

It seems like 90% of the organs I play have benches that are too low. Mine has blocks underneath and it's still far too low... I don't really mind concave-radiating pedal boards, but I hate pedal boards with lousy pressure, unfortunately that describes most pedal boards!

I agree, I absolutely hate radial boards, they are a complete waste of time. Straight ones are perfect for anything, especially learning. Even the French symphonic organs have them.

But really nice playing there. You certainly do deserve a better instrument to play.

Is it you?

This is very good, also the added mordents are very nice!

The only problem is the radial concave pedalboard: on a flat baroque one it would need many adjustments of the pedal and legs technique.

I would prefer a more fundamental strong stop choice; heavier registrations would make the effect closer to a real European baroque organ and would make you develop intuition toward the reverberation of gothic cathedrals.
