J S Bach Prelude BWV 547 (I) (with reverb)

(TEMPERAMENT: Werckmeister III) There are only two organ works in which Bach used 9/8 time signature: the Prelude of the dyptic BWV 547 and Schübler Chorale Prelude BWV 650, "Kommst du nun, Jesu, von Himmel herunter" (in this case the pedalboard part is notated in 3/4). Such a time signature, known as "tempus perfectus", is of the utmost importance, since the Prelude deals with the ascention of Christ. One can also notice that the Master introduces four motives along four bars, in C Major, and proceeds with the musical text, IN THE SAME KEY, along four more bars (actualy, four bars and 2/3). This is something we seldom observe in Bach's dealing with harmony.

Sorry for the "legaTTo"... Lapsus calami ... And sorry to everybody for the "structu"I"red"... a second lapsus calami...

Yes... not bad. I agree.

Thank you for your comment

Not bad.

It's "legato", not "legatto". "Legatto" doesn't exist in Italian.

Thank you for your comment.

I applied the reverb on the previous sound track (it had no reverb at all, and someone noticed it).

If you pay attention to the fingers, you will notice that I do not play legatto. Well, no "détaché" either. It is just structuired legatto.

sounds great! But possibly the manuals are a bit too legato, the notes seem to collide a bit
