Playing this wonderful piece any faster would make it feel rushed. One gets a chance to hear the clarity of the parts at this tempo. Bach at his best. How any human could write music of this complexity is beyond understanding. Organ registration is just right, too.

@NPorganist

I totally agree with you. Thank you very much for your opinion. I've read somewhere that trio sonatas and fugues are the hardest works to compose and Bach was definitely a genius in both "genres"

This music makes me forget all the mediocrity of this life, the worst moments are diluted in the distance and the fullness of my spirit takes over. Johann thank you very much for this priceless music

[johnnykaylon]

the best version found on youtube ! ! !

bravo

is from electronic organ or original ?

[mrharpsi]

He probably ment that tempo is slow for vivace, and i agree it could be a bit faster if you want, but i like your performing very much just in this tempo and in this way you do it. :)

[codeman2008]

By far the best performances of the trio sonatas on youtube!

Thanks for your replies, toxiconegro. My first reply was using my daughter's logon (rebeccaAlba). Sorry about that!

Thanks for your replies to my comments, toxiconegro. Sometimes when listening to Bach's organ music I feel I almost begin to glimpse the meaning of the universe and life, if you know what I mean. His music goes beyond just sound. Almost like the laws of nature are being unravelled before you. The Wedge Fugue in E Minor is one particular piece that affects me like this.
