I belie that this arrangement is based on Leopold Stokowskis adaption of the piece for orchestra. Think I read it somewhere.

If you mean the Wanamaker Department Store organ-console: oh yes, it DOES have a music-stand (rather high up given that the console has 6 manuals!). However, Mr. Fox DID usually play from memory, if I recall correctly...

The "theological motives and connotations" you speak of are because Bach was forced to write music for the church. There was no other alternative for a composer that lived during his time. The church in Europe ruled all, including what music was allowed. He couldn't have written anything else but church music for most of his life or the Church you seem so respectful of could of had him killed. In fact, certain intervals weren't allowed in music because they were considered "evil".

WRONG!!! That already was far from being the case in the 18th-century, including JS Bach's previous job in Köthen (where he served a secular ruler's court!!!). For your thesis to be true, you'd have to go back to about 1600 (Bach was born in 1685) - and even then, the greatest music patrons (regardless of it being sacred or secular) were the Imperial, royal, ducal and other such courts!!! It was only in Rome where the church really had that kind of power.

As to the intervals, already by the Renaissance (1450-1600) such things like augmented 4ths/diminished 5ths were tolerated under certain conditions of resolution. Yes, they were "evil" ('diabolus in musica') but they weren't totally proscribed all the same...

As to the church harming Bach: all one had to do was migrate to another town/principality (especially easy in Germany!!) and you'd then be OK...

I remember as a college student at Morris Brown College in Atlanta meeting Mr. Fox. Dr. Hubert knew everyone!
