Great achievement for just 2 months! I'm a pianist, and I've wanted to play the organ ever since I can remember. None of the local churches will allow me to use their organ, which is rather sad.
The heck with the purists and perfectionists and armchair 'organists' who nit-pick a performance to the degree of obsession! You did fantastic!
The organ is old, it works and sounds just fine, besides-it IS after all 150 years old!
The mechanical coupling is why the Sw keys move with the Gt, that's the drawback of mechanical action- the more stops and couplers you add the heavier the keys become.
All the people who offered words of encouragement: Thank you. It's taken me bloomin' AGES to reach this stage! Obviously there's still some way to go, but I don't plan on stopping just yet... ;-)
N'importe quoi!! Où sont les arpèges??? la main droite n'est pas correcte, aucune pédale! on a juste une superposition d'accords! seul le tempo est juste! Des concertistes et des élèves de conservatoire comme moi, se sont cassé les dents sur cette pièce pour des concours et examens! Ne diffusons pas des vidéos qui sont irrespectueuses des véritables musiciens! Cela reste très amateur et très débutant! Même Widor doit se retourner dasn sa tombe !Je ne félicite personne!
The organ was built in 1857 by A. Hunter of London. It has a mechanical key action and electric blowers. (For some combinations of couplers, some of the keys jam.)
The organ has a grand total of 13 stops. What can I say? It's a small village church organ. If you REALLY want to know...
Bordon 16', Open Diapason 8', Closed Diapason 8', Dulciana 8', Principal 4', Flute 4', Fifteenth 2', Double Diapason 16', Horn Diapason 8', Lieblich Gedact 8', Principal 4', Mixture III and Cornopean 8'.
Thanks! A very nice little instrument! British organ builders of that era made fine, solid instruments - very versatile. Many similar US organs have either been destroyed or "restored" (translation: tonally revised to death!).
The Bourdon 16 & Double Diapason are both on the pedal? The couplers prolly just need to be regulated to solve that problem.
Don't be afraid to play music for manuals only - there is lots of it that is quite good!
The Bordon 16' is in the pedel division. The Douple Diapason 16' is actually in the swell division. (And it lacks the bottom octave. This happens to be the octave controlled by the peddles if you couple them.)
The whole organ is due to be taken apart, leaned, tuned, etc. in the next few weeks. It should hopefully work much better after that.
Yeah, I deliberately had the coupler on. I tried to write that in the video description, but YouTube wouldn't let me. (Maybe there's a maximum character limit or something?)
This piece just doesnt't work without foot-pedals,,, nice try though..fluffed notes,,, timing and 'flow' flawed, fingering poor, but a nice try.

Wonderful - thoroughly enjoyed your playing, and your interpretation of this piece!
Thank you,

This is a good tempo for the piece! Not bad at all for not using the pedal! Seriously!
Seems like a cute little 19th century tracker (mechanical action ) organ. Did you have the stop list? Just curious....:P
*applause* :)

Yeah, you have the swell coupled to the great. Good job.
