Thanks for the comment. Negative responses don't bother me. If someone says to do it this way or that way, I say "Show me".

Thank you for your positive comments and interesting observation about how playing this piece does not look difficult to perform. This piece was extremely difficult for me to play and the simplicity of its execution is deceptive. In fact, I did not post the Fugue because of the difficulty. If i ever get the nerve, I will perform the entire piece and post it. It is a wonderful piece and i get a great deal of joy each and every time i play it. . Bach was the best !!!!

This instrument was clearly designed by a man with 10 hands.

Huge organs are no more difficult to play tham small ones. All keyboards can be "coupled" to the one you are playing on. I know, I have played the largest organ in the world, with seven keyboards. It is just as easy as one keyboard.

It seems to me the tuning is rather off compared to most other videos and my keyboard.

This organ is so big that the sound from the most distant chamber reaches the microphone later than the closest pipes so it sounds out of tune. Huge organs offer a new excitement in sonic experience. Nothing is perfect. Enjoy.

why is the keyboard tuned down almost an entire half step?

@socialistcontainment amen. Those people even lack the self respect to withhold criticism of even the best players in the world. I have seen comments saying that Glenn Goulds play was static or that Richters trillers were too long. Its amazing how arrogant people can be.

I am about to blow a gasket regarding people on YouTube that just have to give these phony, wannabe, 'know it all' comments no matter what the video is.  We really need an American purge. Beautiful video.

Brilliant. Surprised though, it doesn't look as difficult to play as it sounds. Thanks for posting this!
