Widor: Toccata from 5th symphony for organ

[pipedreams1685]

Alles, was ich sagen kann ist. Super, super, super, erstaunlich!

[Parallelfuge]

@pipedreams1685 Danke, danke! hab auch lang dran geübt! :-)

[pipedreams1685]

@Parallelfuge Und es zeigt, das ist einer meiner Lieblings-Performances von diesem Stück.

[BaardTheLegoDude]

Good job, but you need to fix the microphone on the camera, because all high notes are getting unclear.

[Parallelfuge]

@BaardTheLegoDude Thank you! But no need to fix the microfone.Sounds allright here.

I have connected my computer to my stereo-equipment. Maybe you can try that too. PC-Speakers have often poor quality. Or try good headphones. Or try other videos or my channel "Parallelfuge" to compare.

[danenhod]

@BaardTheLegoDude, this is clearly a stereo recording.

[mavrow]

Why that a speed? - The black and white on the keyboard varies. Maybe not too confusing to play?

[Parallelfuge]

@mavrow The most organs in Germany have keys like this; no problem for the organists here. This speed I play, because it is a mechanical organ and a church not so big like the cathedrals Widor was playing. For him it was nonsense to play faster because of the long echo of the cathedral. In a smaller church that tempo sounds borring, because less reverb. Thatfor the speed.

[FarmerDew97]

Proper job!

[Parallelfuge]

@FarmerDew97 Thank you!

[mudgebauer]

The playing is too fast. The sounds is ok alittle too tinny. . I dont like the reversed black & white keyboard. The best recording on youtube of this is done at the Sacred Heart Cathedral in Newark New Jersey.. take a peek.

[OrbiliusMagister]

Given your interest in jazz music you'll accept some innocent funny irony:

did anyone notice that this recording gives an aural impression of "swinging duplets"?

If you perceive it at the beginning then this sense of swing remains stuck throughout the piece.

[Parallelfuge]

@OrbiliusMagister You're right! I don't know if anybody else has realized that....Greetings from Berlin

[labyonnette]

@OrbiliusMagister Im a guitarist and I havnt got a clue what you are talking about but I am very moved by this

[mavihub]

Awesome

[Parallelfuge]

@mavihub Thanks

[RampGuy1]

Why are the color of the keys backwards?

[Parallelfuge]

@RampGuy1 Because that was normal in the Baroque-area, for organs and harpsichords. Many organs in Germany are build like this.Later, when the Piano, like we know it, was invented in the 19th century the color of the keys changed to the opposite, like you know it from a normal piano

[whosetheman9999]

Well Played as far as the notes go but it is too fast!!! There is a lot of controversy about what speed it should be played and I think that it shouldn't be dreary but not too fast either.

[gerardbedecarter]

I enjoyed this performance. Thank you. Widor's staccato dots seem to me to be indicating that there should be no overlap and that the fingers should articulate well.

[Parallelfuge]

@gerardbedecarter Thank you; staccato or not, depends on size of the organ und the size of the room. Widor was used to big cathedrals and he had an organ with pneumatic action, which means, that such organ has a delay, because the way from pressing a key until the pipe is sounding, goes with air from the key to the pipe. Not so with a mechanical touch organ, like I play. Thatfor Widor wrote the staccato-points and only tempo 100. To play like this on a mechanical organ, would sound ridicolous.

[octavegeigen4]

Wonderful playing, Maria! I too play a 3 manual mechanical action pipe organ and I know how difficult it can be to get a good tempo with such heavy action. You do so splendidly! If you are ever in the USA and are near Pennsylvania, you are more than welcome to come try out my instrument!

[Parallelfuge]

@octavegeigen4 Thank you for your fine comment; I enjoyed it very much, especially, because you are right, it is hard to play that on a mechanical action organ, and even harder, if you are cobbling the lower manual to the middle (dobbelt pressure), which I did to get more sound out of the organ. Greetings from Berlin, Germany!

[IDFAFrans]

Sorry to be saying this,....but this is musically speaking just crap......played utterly mechanical, and way....way too fast......no feeling or heart in it at all... that explains the glitches...........come on, this piece isn't about a factory of notes on a production line..........sorry.........ju­st crap

[JusticeRW]

Fabulous! Thanks for posting. If you're ever in New Zealand, you're more than welcome to perform on the organ at my Church- 58 Ranks.

[Parallelfuge]

@JusticeRW Thank you very much for your nice comment from New Zealand! If I ever should come there, I shurely would! Greetings from Berlin, Germany!

[sford713]

I am in awe of anyone who can even attempt this piece. This is thrilling!

[Parallelfuge]

@sford713 Thank you and greetings from Berlin, Germany

[Tubamaxima1]

I know there has been a great deal of discussion about how fast this piece should be played, but if you consider the fact that the organ has sluggish key action and each note of music on the score has a dot over it , Widor wanted the listener to hear each note. It should be played much slower. St.Sulpice has a long reverberation and playing fast only muddles the notes. I played this organ so I can say that the key action is slow compared to modern organs.

[Parallelfuge]

@Tubamaxima1 Right! And because I have a pure mechanical organ and "only" 3 seconds of reverb, it would sound boring to play it the way of St.Sulpice. Thatfor I think, the speed of this piece should be adapted to the kind of organ, the size of the church and the acoustics. I have made many conrtol recordings in my church with different speeds and think this way is best for my organ and acoustics I have.

[steeeeevve]

Incoherent

[notredameswarrior1]

this is a very nice organ piece but it is over played. to me widors 6th symphony allegro is a lot nicer. i mean thats just my opinion. i mean this toccata though is my favorite and i love it but i think it gets over played.

[adrianmusic2009]

BRAVO! Thank you for sharing your talents with the world through this video.

[Parallelfuge]

@adrianmusic2009 Thank you! Very kind of you!

[adrianmusic2009]

Excellent performance.

[Parallelfuge]

@adrianmusic2009 Thank you! Greetings from Berlin!

[norm29469]

Love the performance. O.k. slap me, but I like heavier voiced pipes in the base into. Love the brilliant stops on top.

[Parallelfuge]

@norm29469 Thank you very much! Unfortunately I have no more stops on that organ. I played with all the organ has:-)

[tubamaxima]

Maria Scharwieß her playing is too fast although very good. I did much study of the speed at which this piece should be played. Widor, in St. Sulpice played this piece much slower ( 1936 recording). It makes no sense to play it faster than it was composed. A big organ ( St, Sulpice) in a big church needs to be played slower because of the reverberation.

[organ66]

@tubamaxima Think so too.

[thugnlive]

see valentina maria baginska performing this piece,

I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as i did

[AirSea1000]

Briliant interpretation is an understatement, thank you so much

[Parallelfuge]

@AirSea1000 Thank you too for this fantastic comment! Greetings from Berlin.

[masojah]

This is brilliant. Love the camera angle what a view and the music is simply glorious. Thank you for this, and by the way the tempo is perfect.

[Parallelfuge]

@masojah Thank you very much for that nice comment! Greetings from Berlin!

[thetriumpharch]

@Parallelfuge a little correction, but maybe you know this anyway.. so, saint sulpice is not a pneumtic organ, nor does it have pneumatic action... it is a mechanical organ WITH a pneumatical lever for the mechanical action ;) a pneumatic organ is something completely differente ;) greetings!

[MegaDani141]

Das nächste mal vieleicht im Berliner Dom xD

[Parallelfuge]

@MegaDani141 Danke! Mal schaun....:-)

[thunderroad1971]

Slow down. Sheesh, it's not a race!

[Usagi1992]

@thunderroad1971

I agree, man...I mean, I prefer a pace a little faster then Widor intended, but I couldn't even listen to 5 seconds of this without it getting on my nerves.

[danenhod]

This is possibly the most brilliant interpretation on the internet. Widor would be proud. @SerguiBonif- it hurts me that you would be so critical in the most simplistic fashion. While I don't have my sheet music in front of me, might you be so kind as to tell me what the tempo calls for.

This may be an easy piece for the organ, but parallelfuge plays it with utmost precision. Please don't be so misguided in your own faults to miss this.

[Parallelfuge]

@danenhod Thank you for this fine comment!! The other things you might discuss with sergiuBonif - if he answers. Greetings from Berlin!

[GOLTURBO555]

awesome!!!!!!!! shows how difficult and complex it is, looks like more easy fly the Luftwaffe MIG29 than try anything like this on organ!

[Parallelfuge]

@GOLTURBO555 Thank you for your fantastic comment! greetings from Berlin, Germany

[skipatroldave]

Very, very nice! Sehr Gut! Greetings from sunny southern California!

[Parallelfuge]

@skipatroldave Thank you very much!!! Greetings from rainy Berlin, Germany!

[SergioBonf]

@Maria indeed there is something that resambles an "unknown divine" in this piece. And for sure the execution at the faster tempo has got its beuatiful fascination.

And I think - as well as someone said before - that some kind of magic about this piece is that can be played at different tempos without loosing it's beauty.

I realise that mine is propably a too much rigorous point of view.

Somithing that matters with my gry hair I think...

:-))

[SergioBonf]

Sorry Maria, but I do not agree with your interpretation.

Widor wrote and played the Toccata with his tempo in mind. And you can't say that because the organs of the present time are different you can play at a speed so different from the master's tempo.

Many notes also are lost in the confusion of the speed.

I think that you should try at the original speed with also some corrections for the sound: it is too "german", dry, too brilliant in the hig frequencies and too much poor of basses.

[Parallelfuge]

@SergioBonf I respect your opinion, but this is a mechanical organ, not a french pneumatic one. Widor COULD NOT play faster, because of the DELAY of a pneumatic organ between pressing the keyboard and the sound of the pipes, which can be until one second! On a mechanical organ the sound comes instant, like with a piano. To play the same tempo like Widor, would sound boring on my organ. I did not loose any key and put everything I have, also the trombone, into the Bass-Pedals.Try Headphones...

[SergioBonf]

@Parallelfuge I respect your opinion too, but the fact is that Widor had this tempo in his ears. And in his mind. And wrote it down on the score. I was used to play this piece too and I was used to play on a mechanical organ too. So I know a bit what you say. But the fact remains. This is not the Widor's tempo.

I will try the headphones (a little tricky with the PC).

Thank you for your attention, however.

I'm honored.

[den220]

@SergioBonf Ok i think i figured out the Toccata tempo dispute. You have to first listen to it, dare i say fall in love with it, at the slower tempo. That builds your appreciation for the piece. But there is something glorious about hearing it at the faster tempo, regardless of whether its played perfectly note for note. I can't say i find any version boring. Just being able to hear it is a pleasure

[mikedc2020]

sorry, that church is not that dry and this thing just got all slurred together. Quite a few misses too.

[miataman92]

This is an outstanding performance. I have been luck enough to experience this piece every Easter of my youth as it was my church organists' favorite pick. You play it with such intensity and such passion. BRAVO! Thank you for sharing your talents with the world through this video.

[Parallelfuge]

@miataman92 Outstanding comment from you also! Thank you very much for that!!! Seasons greetings from Berlin, Germany

[jwoelmer2]

I'm more familiar with the white keys and black accidental keys. Why is this organ the other way around? The only other time I've seen this is on a harpsichord.

[Parallelfuge]

@jwoelmer2 Many organs today not only in Germany are build this way, imitating the baroque design.

[Arjunai]

Very well played, with proper tempo and nice registration...:-)

[Parallelfuge]

@Arjunai Thank you very much for your nice comment! Greetings from Berlin!

[Steinbach1984]

I remember assisting my piano teacher in registration when he played this piece in concert. The man died unexpectedly last year, this brings back good memories...

[Parallelfuge]

@Steinbach1984 Thank you for your comment! I can imagine your feelings...

Greetings from Berlin Maria

[DrCadetgray]

Maria, You have been touched by God. Wonderful.

[Parallelfuge]

@DrCadetgray  Thank you!!! You touch my heart too!

[danenhod]

love.

[lflarry1]

I mean this as a compliment.

Virgil Fox would be proud of you :)

I think the pace and tempi is great. After all it's not an adagio and Tempo=100 only relates to slow action pneumatic tracker organs anyway.

I really like your version! It didn't put me to sleep. Bravo!

[Parallelfuge]

@lflarry1 Thank you very much! You are right! Widor had a pneumatic tracker organ and is was impossible to play that piece faster.

Best greetings from Berlin Maria

[bimmerboy67]

@lflarry1

Sorry, some of us love the old penumatic tracker organs. My church had ours rebuilt and I miss the sound of the penumatic adjustments:)

[Fels300]

Wunderbar!! Einfach nur wunderbar!

[danenhod]

insane. absolutely brilliant. (still)

[Parallelfuge]

@danenhod Fantastic, that you still love it! Thanks again!

[2lipsonmy0rgan]

Vielleicht noch eine weitere Mixtur dazu...??

[Parallelfuge]

@2lipsonmy0rgan Habe ich leider nicht.Drin ist Hauptwerk Mixtur 5-6fach+gekoppelt vom Oberwerk Scharff 3-4fach. Gruß aus Berlin

[mrspenn1611]

wow, many thanks for that, super and the best yet....

[Parallelfuge]

@mrspenn1611 thank you for your super comment!

[benfolds11]

Too fast and without any emotion! Where's the elegance? Sorry...

[RueOrgue]

@benfolds11 Agree

[danenhod]

still loving it. best interpretation out there. hands down.

[srlucado]

Ausgezeichnet!

[Parallelfuge]

@srlucado Thank you!

[danenhod]

devoted fan- so beautiful. I listen to this at least 5 times a day. Thank you.

[Parallelfuge]

@danenhod Your welcome! I am glad, that this piece makes you happy!

[46MONTI]

E' con piacere che ho ascoltato questo brano di Widor che fino ad ora non avevo gustato a sufficienza... altri lo interpretano diversamente e non mi piaceva.

Grazie maestro del suo tocco singolare!

[Parallelfuge]

@46MONTI Mille grazie e saluti cordiali de Berlin!

[danenhod]

I've listened to this interpretation at least 50 times now. It never gets old. So powerful and emotional! Thank you SO much for this!

[Parallelfuge]

@danenhod I am very happy to read your touching comment! And that you did not get tired of listening. Thank a lot!

Greetings from Berlin, Germany

[danenhod]

@Parallelfuge My offer stands- If you had fingering, I'd love to see it!

[Parallelfuge]

@danenhod Onfortunately I do not have written fingering for this.

Greetings from Berlin

[tcorley210]

I've been compelled to listen to this back-to-back several times from the sheer soul-felt jubilation of it. Bravo, bravo, bravo!

[Parallelfuge]

@tcorley210 Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your nice comment!!! Greetings from Berlin, Germany

[tenor175]

Wunderbahr Miestro!! Ser guht!!! Danke schoen fur das musik!!!!!!!

[Parallelfuge]

Vielen Dank fuer den schoenen Kommentar!

Greetings from Berlin, Germany

[leifa1]

At 2:18 I saw that bottom note you played with your left hand was an F#. In my score it is an E but it had struck me as odd and I thought it might be a typo. So the note is actually supposed to be an F# then?

[Parallelfuge]

I probably have the same edtion. And I also think, that it is a printing mistake, because it makes no sense, when you regard all the other notes. Beside of this all notes are clean accords in Arpeggio-Form, when you play the notes as accords. if there is a dissonant accord, it will solve the classical way to a consonant, but not with the E, with F# it does!

I mean the harmonic structure and hope you understand.

Greetings from Berlin

[altpapapi]

Perfectly acceptable performance. The organ's tone is far too jingle jangle in the upper registers, even screeching. What a pity. It certainly speaks with authority otherwise.

[Parallelfuge]

Thank you! This was made with my old camera. In the meantime I have a new one with much better sound recording. Maybe watch other recordings with the new camera on this channel.

You will recognize the new recordings through the 16:9 picture and High Definition.

Greetings from Berlin, Germany

[organist12345]

Like most other neo-classical 1950s, 1960s german organs. I like to say that screechy mixtures and upperwork replace the big reeds.

[Parallelfuge]

My organ has 7 reeds (f.e. Trumpet 8' and Trombone 16'). Try to listen with your stereo-equipment or good hedphones, not with small computer-speakers.

[organpipes61]

Excellent performance Maria! This is one of my favorite organ pieces and I want to thank you for sharing your gift of music with the world.

[Parallelfuge]

Thank you very much for your touching comment!

Greetings from Berlin, Germany

[organpipes61]

You are very welcome! I am from New York. My son, age 19, plays the organ and fills in for different churches. We saw Felix Hell play this piece on a Peragallo organ this week, which is the organ my son learned on. It is a beautiful piece and your performance sent chills down my spine. God bless you Maria with many more years of great success. Thank you again for sharing you wonderful talent with us! Lou, from NY

[iskenderuna]

Übrigens von Widor sind es 2 verschiedene metronom Angaben. Zuerst hat er 118 angegben (da kommst Du hier hin, oder?) und erst danach später hat er es auf 100 geändert. Man kann nur spekulieren warum...

[jschroeder1991]

Hallo Maria,

eine der wenigen gelungenen Widor-Interpretationen hier :) jedoch kann ich mich mit deinem Tempo und auch mit der Rechtfertigung für dieses Tempo garnicht anfreunden und Widor laut seinen eigenen Aussagen auch nicht, aber es bleibt ja doch Jedem selbst überlassen ;)

Liebe Grüße aus RLP

[Parallelfuge]

Erstmal danke! Auf einer pneumatischen Orgel macht es wegen der Schwerfälligkeit (Verzögerung) der Tonansprache auch keinen Sinn, das Stück schneller als das von Widor angegebene 100 zu spielen. Auf so einer Orgel würde ich es auch viel langsamer spielen, sonst hört man nur noch Akkorde.

Ansonsten ist es doch nur gut, wenn es verschiedene Auffassungen gibt. Schrecklich, wenn wir alle das genau gleich machen würden.

[iskenderuna]

Ich denke das auch. So viele Kommentare mit "zu schnell" oder "zu langsam" man kann es eh nicht jedem recht spielen. Das Stück ist so großartig, daß es fast jedes Tempo mehr als gut verträgt. Außerdem wie Du sagtest, das Orgel spielt eine entscheidene Rolle. Mein lieblings Orgelklang here auf YouTube ist der Orgel in Würzburg. Ich finde die Toccata hört sich einfach genial auf dem Instrument an. Danke für die schöne Interpretation. (Eigentlich ist das hier mein lieblings Tempo!)

[Parallelfuge]

Danke für diesen Kommentar! Diese Orgel hört sich im Raum noch viel mächtiger an, aber dann wäre auf dem Bild nicht viel zu sehen gewesen!

Einige Register haben einen Winddruck von 100mm Wassersäule! Ansonsten rein mechanisch mit mechanischen Koppeln.

Grüße aus Berlin!

[geigera]

In this piece only as a rare ocasion in general, though the tempo is not more important than the notes as a whole, it plays a strong enough role that I can accept a few misses keys to maintain the unwavering motion until the RIT near the end. I'm in Schaumburg, if this song weren't so important to me, my wedding could be far simpler :)

[geigera]

Perhaps I don't need to look any further. My only concern in the wedding is the music. I will be flying people in for various parts. This piece is the most important to me. I feel " Parallelfuge" is quite good, certainly one of the best I've heard. The only thing I don't like is that he isn't willing to travel to Chicago. All humor aside, the tempo is ideal.

[Parallelfuge]

The "he" is a "she".Never mind! I did not say, that I was not willing to travel to Chikago, I just have mentioned, that I live far away, in Berlin, Germany.

But I also think, you can save the expences, because shurely there are plenty of organists in the Chicago area who can play the Widor Toccata.

[geigera]

I am a pianist, tubist, and vocalist at several suburb area churches of Chicago. I would attend the Catheral as I am very much a traditional Catholic at 27, but nonetheless I am commited to being a vocalist and tubist at 3 churches. I really have not met the organist at Holy Name,

[geigera]

You know, I completely appreciate your reply. I am a somewhat gifted musician myself.

[astraioshh]

Dieses Stück spiele ich auch gerne im Gottesdienst. Besonders am Ende von Hochzeiten. Es ist nicht zu schwer und begeistert die Menschen ;)

[Parallelfuge]

Danke auch für diesen Kommentar!!!

Grüße aus Berlin

[geigera]

You wouldn't happen to be from Chicago would you?!?!? Please say yes! ;) I need it for my wedding really bad!  I would fly you to Holy Name Cathedral if you're not.

[Parallelfuge]

Thank you!!! Unfortunately I'm living far away from Chikago, in Berlin, Germany.

[advisorC101]

I tried to play this on a mechanical organ during this week and I find them much better than electronic consoles.

Do you use the sheet music here or do you play it out of memory?

[Parallelfuge]

Actually I play out of memory, but I have the sheet

music (very small on 2 pages!) before me; feel more secure that way, even if I don't look so much on it...:-)

[advisorC101]

Same here, its a helpful guide just in case one gets lost while playing. hehe

[rockmaster1]

Hey very nice!!! I wanna play this XD but.......im in first year of organ in my school of music jeje is a long way to get your hability

[Parallelfuge]

Thank you!!! Keep up the good work and be patient with yourself! It might take years....!

Greetings from Berlin

[Cindermakers]

My favourite playing of this piece.. Thankyou

[Parallelfuge]

Thank you very much! I appreciate your comment especially, since you are professional too!

Greetings from Berlin

[Cindermakers]

It is absolutely true! The speed is ideal for the instrument. The registration is perfect for the instrument. The articulation is clear and precise!

[Parallelfuge]

Thank you for the "flowers"! Important for us musicians, as you shurely know yourself!

[choirboy526]

The pedal is the main melody in this piece... It should of been way more powerful

[Parallelfuge]

That is not possible on this organ. Have everything i got inn there. Beside because of the poor sound quality of YouTube you hear the bass much less then live.

[dolofonos]

Indeed, most PC audio systems do not the organ justice either.

[Parallelfuge]

Right! Much better sound, when you connect the PC Audio output to your home stereo equipment, but who does that...or use good headphones....

[choirboy526]

You should of played on another organ then

[Spellchen]

[vohu57]

Je vais me renseigner, personnellement je joue ce mi (même s'il est dur à attraper :D)

Je vous tiendrai au courant de mes recherches :)

[vohu57]

à la 2:20'' main gauche, la note du bas c'est un mi normalement pas un fa# :D

Mais j'aime bien :p

[Parallelfuge]

I know that! I changed that on purpose, because this note sounds to me like a printing mistake, that's why I changed this note from "mi" to "fa#". I like it more that way. Thank you anyway for your exact listening!

[stolafpianoman]

Nice performance. Except if you're going to cheat, you shouldn't film your hands so closely. :)

[Parallelfuge]

The note on 2:20 I changed on purpose, because this note sounds to me like a printing mistake, that's why I changed this note from "e" to "f#". I like it more that way. Thank you anyway!

[JohannSabestianBach]

That is a remarkable performance.  Especially at your blistering but appropriate tempo. The sheer physicality of the toccata at that speed makes even getting through it quite startling. I salute you.

[Parallelfuge]

Appreciate your comment! Thank you very much for it!Greetings from Berlin.

[advisorC101]

Thats brilliant! I agree with your opinion on the speed, I have about three or four ways to play it but wouldn't it sound entrancing if it was played at this speed on an organ with a long reverb? In the recording that Xaver Varnus made he plays it at the same speed you just did on a massive organ.

[Parallelfuge]

Thank you very much for your nice comment!

The longer the reverb is, the more the piece will loose clarity. Then you will not hear anymore exactly what the hands are doing.

I think it is very helpful to make a recording of the playing from the distance.I did this and learned what the best speed was in my church - I have about 3 seconds reverb.

[advisorC101]

Yes that's true. What I tend to do is play it at the first tempo that comes to heart. When I get a chance to play on a cathedral organ I will play it all the ways I've thought of and heard and see which are the best ways.

[praisethelord333]

Sind da am Schluß nicht die Hände verkrampft? Schön gespielt!

[Parallelfuge]

Danke! Nö, gegen Schluß dann nicht mehr, sondern eher in der Mitte, bevor ich den Manualwechsel vom mittleren(Hauptwerk)auf das untere (Oberwerk)mache, weil ich das Hauptwerk mechanisch ans Oberwerk gekoppelt hab (kann man sehen), des Klanges wegen. Das Hauptwerk geht also doppelt so schwer wie z.B. das Oberwerk (bei mir unten!), was quasi eine Erholung für die Hände ist, bevor ich zum Hauptwerk zurückkehre.

[praisethelord333]

jo ich blage mich zur zeit mit boellmanns toccata herum - nicht daß ich sie nicht von den noten her könnte, aber dieses verkramfen zwichen kleinem finger und knöchel nervt halt...

[Parallelfuge]

Hab Geduld mit Dir selber. Über öfters mal kürzer, und wenn Du das Verkrampfen merkst, dann sofort aufhören und Pause.
