J.S. Bach Toccata and Fugue in D minor (fugue)

One of the greatest pieces ever written.. Please rate and comment! this is a pretty good run through with really just one mistake. If you have any advice PLEASE let me know i really want to perfect it. I don't read music and havent had lessons so bear with me on the performance and note accuracy. Chopin's waltz op. 66 no. 2 should be coming soon

Thank you so much! Unfortunately I didn't have a piano for a while after I made this video and I forgot how to play most of the song. I don't really know what any of the notes are and I just played on muscle memory, so it's been tough trying to remember how it goes. Worse, I made up a few parts because I couldn't read the music right so there's no way to really tell what I did there... I'll let you know if I can figure it out but thank you

the part you play is my favourite part ! You are an awesome player .Where you got the music sheet or where did you learn it? ty

Thank you! I actually found the sheet music in my college's library in the music section and copied the pages. I had the song on my ipod also, but I'm pretty sure they were different transcriptions. That's why a few bits from my version don't match up with official versions you'll find, because I just made them up. It took days just to write down the letter under each note in the sheet music and it took years to match my hands to what I saw. Frustrating, but worth it :)

AMAZING!!

I think you're a very good pianist!

well done about the very very good quality of the video!

a lot of success in chopin "fantasia"..

I know you don't adhere to the sheet but can I just say, this has got to be one of my favourite recordings on youtube. I mean its incredible. I'm currently working on it and I must admit, I'll be looking at your expressive technique more every day :P oh and I do love 3:32 and the rubbing of the hands hahaha take care x

@Plingio wow, that's very long...

but with a beautiful result

I love it

@Ilovenailsxxxnaomi You will never get a tutorial for this song. He only does the second movement, so I can't say for sure how long that would take alone, but the whole song (on piano, not organ) took me about a year to perfect.
