Bach - Little Prelude & Fugue in G Major BWV 557

Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), or possibly Johann Tobias Krebs (1690-1762). Performed by Jonathan Feucht at Faith Presbyterian Church, Tacoma WA. This was my first time ever playing the organ in a church worship service.

This is the first of a selection of pieces I played on the organ for the prelude to the Christmas Eve Service in 2007 based on the Lutheran chorale "Gelobet seist du, Jesu Christ" (Praised be you, Jesus Christ).

I think the tempo in both the prelude and the fugue is just fine. It's a very valid and pleasing performance, and if that's the way you see it, that's the way you should play it - take no notice of the know-alls!

Just one little thing... in the beginning section, we start with that chord and then the one note in the right hand. That second not comes on the third beat, but in this video you skipped the second beat. Other than that, LOVELY!

Ok, its a great piece and you have played it very very clean... but I have two points to suggest you: Prelude is too fast, you can play it slowler y it would be wonderful. Fugue is with too many legatto... if you do all the phrases stacatto would be better for your audience to understand the discourse of the piece... thanks... it's a nice piece

Beautiful. I've learned this, my way, now I'll adapt it to some of your style, especially slowing down the fugue. Thank you for the fine lesson.
