Also, I set you a challenge as to play Marcel Dupré's Symphonie Passion, it is one of the most obscure pieces ever written, the first movement and third movement are the most challenging. If you ever find a copy and fancy a challenge of playing skill, take it. Only 5 people in the whole world can play it.

[pianorgano]

I will find out about the piece. However; how do you compare it with "Variations Sur Un Noel" ?

[BeFrSc]

If you're ever in Devon, UK, contact me and i'll take you to an amazing Organ and you can play a few of these works, an amazing performence I must say, but I don't like the Organ, I take it its electronic, but nothing beats a real Pipe Organ, and one piece of advice, when playing the Organ, it is a customary teaching to only look at the music, nothing else, I find it really helps, Marcel Dupré used to swear at people if they didn't.

[pianorgano]

Thanks for the invitation. I do not have access to real pipe and am content with what I have and it's considered lucky for me already. This piece is tricky and I need pedal compass when practicing.

[DeutschAmi]

If your organ has Vista or you can adjust the reverb settings on it, it would sound even better (it sounds awesome by the way!), and you wouldn't need to use staccato as much, unless you wanted to give it the Virgil Fox flare lol.

[pianorgano]

Thanks for your advice. I have to explore more on the Vista. It's a good idea. BTW; I like Power Biggs music much more than Virgil Fox.

[speaks3703]

You can also tell by the sound. Ugh.

[itachisharkak]

I hate hate when regestration limits an organist's capability.

[trompettechamade1]

@BeFrSc I agree that it is great piece to play, and very challenging. I would also highly recommend the Symphonie de la Passion of de Malingreaux.

[yttreblemaker]

Well done!! Very similar to the Diane Bish approach. This is one very nasty piece technically, and I hope you get a chance to rip this one onto a huge pipe organ in a place where the acoustics don't muddy the pedals.

Great stuff. Keep up the good work!

[BeFrSc]

@lipsbach My apologies for my sheer ignorance 2 years ago.

[lipsbach]

@BeFrSc what on earth are you talking about? it's not at all obscure. hundreds of people play the dupre symphony passion. at least a dozen recordings are available on CD. many more on older LPs. and the 1st and 4th mvts are the most difficult. don't comment on that which you know little or nothing about!

In dem Alter ? Grandios! 5*

[HerrWarja]

Cool with such a young organist! I play organ to and I'm 16 years old! How old are you? I've played for one year.

[soiledworld]

thank you for that you are

I have watched several youtube videos of organists performing the jig fugue. There seems to be two different versions when it comes to the pedal part.. 

My "arrangement" (and other performers, such as Diane Bish) commences the second round of pedal play; at measure 57 to the end. However, this organist, and several others on youtube, don't begin the pedal part until measure 63 and continue to the end.

Are there two different Gigue versions in publication?

non si capisce niente!
