Excellent!!!! I would recommend playing slightly slower as Chaconnes & Passacaglias are supposed to be stately and a bit somber due to their minor key characteristics, but otherwise AWESOME!!!!!!

[organist79]

Thank you - I didn't realise quite how quickly I played this until I watched the vid!! I agree with your comments.

[organboi]

don't let people tell you it's too fast. question everything. your tempo sounds right. if the whole world plays something one way, don't just follow blindly. make your own decisions on what you think the music calls for. i totally disagree with paqman67.

[rttipton]

Your technique is impeccable. I really appreciated the way you played. You have

great posture when performing.

1:08 should be f natural. Same at 1:16.

I'm looking for music for my wedding. I didn't think I could find anything that would satisfy me as a minor key lover but still fit the occasion. After listening to this, I think I have my recessional music! Thanks for playing so fast!

I like this piece a little slower, but then my acoustic is not the same. For a lot of pieces for some pieces having the next beat falling on the reverberation can create a special ambiance.

How is it possible that a human being can play this marvelous piece so well? You both (the organist and composer) reach amazing heights of magnificence, fortitude and beauty.

[houseofyu]

all i can say is.. amazing.. you actually feel the music.. just dont get unsecure while playing as there is certainly no need.

[Francis1930]

Just ignore those who say you should be playing this piece this way or that - you have an excellent ear for the early baroque, the way you have played this piece is exquisite and I too would have played it the same. Well done.

There is an Orchestral version of this theme, arranged by Carlos Chavez, I reccomend you tou listen it, it's simply beautiful

[leslie12speaker]

Thanks for posting this giacona. I am going to play it for prelude this Sunday (Easter III). You have inspired me.

[Tijguy]

nice flow and tempo on the entire piece.

[MrRogerPritchard]

The tempi is a little brisk, but it's nice to hear a different approach. I would just add that I find it a little too mechanical. It would be nicer to extend some of the notes and not keep to a strict metronomic beat.
