Fugue à la Gigue - J. S. Bach

Bach's Fugue in G major, BWV 577. As usual, to hear this in stereo you need to add &fmt=18 to the end of the URL, or else just click: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H96nvAfZPUM&fmt=18

This is what happens when I try to dance a jig on the organ! Sorry about the flubbed notes, but this was a one-take quickie, and I don't have much time for practice. Suffice it to say that I am still working on this piece, and several others.

Note that this organ has limitations which result in missing notes in the pedal part. For more info on the organ, see the notes on my previous, partial performance of this piece with this so-called organ, here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HlGGDqqkig

Well done! I'm not a fan of Technics, Lowrey, Yamaha, etc. but you sure did make this instrument sound great! You're one of the ones who have inspired me to learn this piece.

Glad I could be of service!

is he playing in socks!?!?

[ccoraxfan]

@antoniusultimus

Yes, he is playing in socks. At the time he did not have organ shoes, though that has since been remedied.

i've been looking for this since time began. than you mikebau, from mikebau tunespotting.

even though you almost murder this in parts, i'm glad to have found it.

@pwiattitto

I'm glad you found this useful.

Yes, I do almost murder it in places. This is because you are listening to the second piece I have ever learned on the organ, and this is merely a record of where I was when I posted this. I am considering posting more, though of course I cannot guarantee lack of musically atrocious mistakes!

[antoniusultimus]

@ccoraxfan This is a pretty hard piece. You should be proud if its only your second piece on the organ.

EXCELLENT attempt!! keep up the good work and you will def get this off to a fine art!! doing far better than im doing!!!

Dude, I used to be able to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star (by Mozart) with one finger. Playing with two fingers confuses me!! Playing with both hands on more than one keyboard qualifies for musical genius in my book!! :D
