Fugue in G minor from 8 Short Preludes and Fugues VI (BWV 558) -- J.S. Bach -- Karn Reed Organ

This is the Fugue from Bach's collection of 8 little Preludes and Fugues. I learned this piece quite a few years ago on a pipe organ, so here I am relearning it again for a reed organ with no pedal board. The hardest part (for me) is the registration changes, especially at 0:53, where both 4' and bass coupler needed to be shut, so this is a great place to use the grand organ swell to hide the changes :)

This organ is a recently restored Karn reed organ, made in Woodstock, Ontario, in 1905. For more information on the restoration, visit: http://www.rodneyjantzi.com/karn/

@hearsephantom Correction: Reed organs Classical!!!!* Rock wasn't about for another 50+ years.

I was always under the impression that a reed organ would sound like a large accordion. WAS I EVER WRONG!!! You are truly a master organist. I was looking for an modern type organ but you have changed my mind. I'm trying to purchase a Estey Pipe Top. I'm hoping the deal goes through. Reed organs Rock!!!!

Again, great job. I was wondering ow it would work for the bass line, but you did it! Nice job.

Awesome - reminds me of many years ago when I had an old Organ like that I restored and then gave to a Funeral Home in Rochester, N.Y.

You play beautifully - thank you for sharing. Lance †
