I enjoyed this. :D

[pedantologist]

That was quite awesome.

[sfbonedoc]

@pedantologist Thank you for listening and for your generous comment. But, I am awed by the new scrolling colored notation on your channel What a joy! Thank you.

[pedantologist]

@sfbonedoc I am afraid I cannot take credit for that! smalin on youtube is the originator of that software and his channel is way better.

Nice playing - from the back I thought u were Ton Koopman!!! lol Sorry :)

[sfbonedoc]

@tommyupoo Michael, thanks for your generous comment. Congratulations on choosing good teachers and the very best of luck to you in your musical explorations. Thank you for your channel. May I be a friend?

Greetings from Sab Francisco, George

Yes, of course.

In my opinion, i played this piece also, it has to play impulsively. But you are right, De gustibus non disputandum est.

Best wishes and thanks a lot for your video.

[Aribert81]

Excuse me, in my opinion it is too slow!

[sfbonedoc]

Thank you for your comment. De gustibus non disputandum est. I am an amateur and not a Krebs scholar. At the time I made this recording, I tried different tempi and this one felt right to me. I think the middle and final sections must be considered in choosing a tempo. The work has grandeur, and I tried to show that. Perhaps I will play it faster next time! (These days, I tend to prefer slower tempi, knowing that simply because I CAN play faster, it is not always musical to do so.)

[sfbonedoc]

Thank you so much for stopping by and for listening and for your kind comment. (The organ, by the way, is tuned in Kellner, which helps this music.) And thank you for your excellent channel with its w i d e variety of offerings! Bravo!

In this big brook { Bach } only one single crab { Krebs } was caught ! He was certainly one of the best students of JS Bach himself and your performance of this music is indeed excellent !

[Askelairlines747]

awesome! baroque is the best

[sfbonedoc]

Hello Askel

Thanks for stopping by and for your kind comment. Good luck with flying and with playing the piano - a fine instrument. And greetings from San Francisco!

[Askelairlines747]

thank you very much :-)

greetings from Norway

very good playing and typical sound...

great...

[virginiaorganbuilder]

OK- where's this organ? Somewhere in San Francisco, I presume. If you get the chance, check out the organ at St. Mark's Lutheran (on Cathedral Hill)- I'm one of the builders!

Regards to Filbert.

[LutzKranenborg]

Gentlemen: hats off for Bach, Krebs and Becker! Well played sir!

Filbert the chipmunk is fine. Thanks for asking. He just recently re-appeared after hibernating for the winter. I love the harpsichord version of "Over the Rainbow" you sent me. I guess my previous message didn't reach you.

I'm working on "Moon River" for my next video.

Happy Easter

Alan
