Nobody could ever match Bach! He was the greatest genius of all ages!

[ChalieChaplin]

BRAVO!

[solarlove429]

This has always been my favorite piece

@organmaster1969 Sorry, but this is bullshit, completly. I am very sorry, that past times musicians and instrumentbuilders dit not recognice your "perfect" pitch. You maybe should not think to much about european culture...

[elton1981]

@organmaster1969 It does sound lower - by quite a bit.

I'm don't have perfect pitch, but correct me if I'm wrong, this isn't using even temprement either. Some of those mixtures sound a little strange. Nice though

This, and most other organ clips on youtube, should be about the music. Complaints about the camera lingering too long here or there are a waste of time. As for some other things? 440 is a recent standard, set long after this organ was built. Deal with it! 435 organs are far more common in Europe, and that's just fine. Tempo? Quite reasonable. It's not supposed to be a race, and playing faster in a reverberant environment just makes things muddy. In all, this is a pretty good job.

@organmaster1969 You have to remember that organs are tuned once, and only once, and it changes with the weather.

@emotiiii I agree! hes awesome!　：D

[OrganPianoMusic]

@ccoraxfan God you're so right! I thought absolutely the same watching the video. Especially the beginning of the pedal solo! This is an important part. In that moment the camera shows the facade! Everybody not familiar thinks he conintues playing with his hands until the camera returns at a totally inappropriate moment.

That could be done much better. And yes, how important is it to show the face that long???

@PraeludiumUndFuge :) I transpose all the time swetheart. Stop arguing, enjoy it! If people disagree with you, why make them feel like they're in "the wrong place"? I can say I love this piece, and someone else can say they hate it. Is Bach gonna come back from his grave to say: Oh how dare you? Come on,

When you hear this piece played all the time in C major and then you hear another one in C# major, you kind of feel the difference, but is not that my ears are going to blow up. Relax

[PraeludiumUndFuge]

@VONHIMMELBACH get used to it. Transposition was very common in the baroque era. You could have heard this piece in D major in one occasion and E major on another. (or Eb Major and and F major in your case). Would you still find it annoying? All are common keys. What about an unfamiliar piece in B minor? You'd simply hear C minor. Keys are just a system employed in music notation. Pitch is not set in stone. Standard pitch varied from region to region, and even between church and court, etc

@organmaster1969 i think you're in the wrong place buddy.
