@lillonaute It's just the "Picardy third" that changes the mode of the final chord, absolutely typical in the style of Bach. Look for data about it.
it's just charming how the major chord at the end causes such a "shock" feeling ;)

I wonder if Bach would play his organ music like a Bach purist plays it.

@lillonaute There are a few legitimate recording organists who insist on playing the last chord as major. Apparently the name of the piece, key signature, and common sense are all lost on them. Guess they all know something my pedestrian brain doesn't. It's like the perfect end to a story, and then BAM, slap in the face. Why not just segue into Rick Astley.
That said... overall, one of my favorite organ pieces from Bach.

Thank you.
Why the major chord at the end, in defiance of all musical logic? I was prepared to accept the organist understood the piece up until that point.
