Bach/Tausig Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Piano Tutorial Part 1

[222mozart]

super

thanks !!

[milot7burnet]

i think your changing all the sense of this opera..

[jvance2230]

I think most people don't understand that 1. this is a tutorial, and 2. The Busoni and Tausig transcriptions are different. I don't know if there are any more transcriptions out there (I sort of made up some stuff up in my version) but I think you should post a video at normal speed. That will stop some of the mean comments.

p.s.- I may change the way I play the Toccata after watching your video :)

@jvance2230 best to give up on those ppl. provided a link to a concert performance in the video description. :)

Crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys, just shut-up. She is a very talented person. The difference between you all and her is simply this, You ALL are dumb. She, on the other hand, is a retired Trigenometry teacher and is smarter than probably anyone of us.. So, again. just shut-up.

Thanks for the video, bbdhrggl. Once again, a GREAT tutorial.

@MrPianist101 It is sweet that you are defending her, after all, she is kind enough to put a tutorial on here for nothing in return. However, assessing the intelligence of other people based upon negative things they may say on the internet goes somewhat to show that you are not fit to make an assessment in regards to intelligence in the first place.

[bbdhrggl]

@toremindthose why do we human animals have to pick on others? if we have nothing good to say, just don't say it. peace on earth?

[MrPianist101]

@toremindthose You're correct. My apologies to everyone.

[billspintobean]

I'd love to hear you play this at tempo!

[lamchung814]

i can't find the fugue's part. i wanna watch! thx~

[bbdhrggl]

@lamchung814 after all the rude comments on this tutorial, I sure don't feel like doing the fugue part :)

[SSGist]

Interesting!! I didn't know that! So, this is the piano version! But one thing i for real: the way you play this piece is more difficult than the organ version, the original.

[DSizzle7]

Ya gotta clean up those skills and get it in the right key before ya post to YouTube! Good try though, keep practicing!!

[salmanmaqbool]

sir i am true fan of your turorial thanks for this contributions

[mce23]

Now for those who did all the ridiculous coments; I sincere think you all should learn more about music. You have no idea what music is.

[mce23]

I have to say I'm really thankfull for this tutorial. I'm really thankfull for all of your tutorials by the way. You shouldn't care about those negative coments you got on this video, in my point of view they are simple mediocre. Unfortunaly, like most people, all they do is complain and do nothing constructive. They should be greatful for having someone like you who has the kind of posting great tutorials, at least for me and I belive for alot of people, they have been fantastic. Thank you.

[jameliaamb]

I am sorry but I have been studying this composition and this tutorial is incorrect. /:

[bbdhrggl]

@jameliaamb Is yours by the same composer Tausig?

[AlsatianCousin]

That was brutal. The first two notes are A G A.

[bbdhrggl]

@AlsatianCousin care to look at the score? it is free on imslp.org.

To all those who say this tutorial is incorrect. Do you think there is only one score, the one you use? Bach wrote this for organ, not piano. Hence, all piano scores are arrangements. The ones by Tausig and Busoni are the two performed on concert stages. Enough said. More critiques and I'll happily remove this from public view.

[bbdhrggl]

@AlsatianCousin why did you remove your comment? @bbdhrggl - If you get probably the three most famous opening notes in the western music history wrong in your "tutorial", and then attack any critcism you seriously need a reality check mate. Your comment was just absurd,, "do you think there is only one score, the one you use?" Umm... yeah the one Bach wrote??

Sorry what I explained is beyond your understanding :)

[SuperZoro101]

@AlsatianCousin wow this is so stupid to hear it played on a piano lol u cant play the song correctly with out the whole key setup of an organ

[MrYomama408]

Sounds Horrible In D Minor =_=

[1037lex]

HORRRABLE HORRABLE

ITS IN D MINOR NOT

"I SUCK AT PLAYING MINOR"

[bbdhrggl]

@1037lex thanks for making me laugh

[1037lex]

@1037lex I"m glad you laughed i didn't mean it in a mean way

I'm sure that you know the song well!

[bbdhrggl]

@TonyWRO be more specific?

[bbdhrggl]

@TonyWRO tell us the first wrong one: the note, and the measure. this tausig arrangement is in public domain, we can all check along with you.

[bbdhrggl]

@TonyWRO btw, did you visit tausig in heaven so you can tell him?

[0957811]

the intro isnt good but the rest is a nice piece dude =D keep the good work =)

[dimrous1960]

Many thanks for your efforts. You make it so much easier for me to play it from the score sheet now that i can pencil on it the notes. I learned the basics of Moonlight sonata from you. Could you perhaps at your convenience publish a tutorial on busoni's toccata arrangement please? Thanks again, you're very helpful to me and i believe to lots of other people.

[bbdhrggl]

@dimrous1960 You're welcome. Re Busoni's arrangement: If 9 more want it, I will. A simple "yes" replying to this comment will suffice.

[dimrous1960]

@bbdhrggl

Yes, thank you!

[xXmariam90Xx]

@bbdhrggl yes, please :)

[waripolo15]

terrible

[bbdhrggl]

@waripolo15 thanks

[misterlaurens96]

the beginning is wrong and after that you forget to play a part

man

[bbdhrggl]

@misterlaurens96 is the video description beyond your level of comprehension?

[bbdhrggl]

@kurapica078 It sounds great at tempo!
