グラスハープ

Bach's most famous organ piece arranged for glass harp.

Free sheet music for this can be found here: http://www.classical-scores.com/free/bach-toccata-and-fugue-in-d-minor-bwv-56...

A theory has recently (1981) been put forth that J. S. Bach did not write this piece. A brief summary of the supporting evidence for this theory can be read here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toccata_and_Fugue_in_D_minor#Attribution

To listen to a good organ version watch Kurt Ison, Sydney Town Hall.: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FXoyr_FyFw

Or Karl Richter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zd_oIFy1mxM

Also arranged for symphonic orchestra for the famous Walt Disney cartoon "Fantasia" in 1940. Can be viewed at:

A very interesting version with a bar-graph score (midi sequencer score) gives you a visual idea of the voicing of this piece. watch:

  • Masterful, yet strange and intriguing. Someone obviously practices A LOT!

  • Bach would be very proud!

  • @HConstantine Classical composers sat down and wrote notes that are played with acoustic instruments. Electronic music composers sit down and write notes that are played with electronic instruments. The only difference is in the instrument itself.

  • Please, do us all a favor, audition for America's Got Talent.

  • What a way to waste your life!

    Congrats on all that practice, I guess!

  • Stunning would love to add this to a CD.

  • Well, He spins his fingers around things to much...
