  • I guess I will be the first to comment. I love performances and interpretations of Kay Johannsen. I have all his J.S.Bach disks, and find them superior to most other organist. I just hope that one day he will be able to record the complete works of JSB on baroque organs.

    Thank you for posting!!!

  • You're welcome. Actually I also like Kay Johannsen's interpretations best.

    I doubt that he ever will upload Bach's entire organ work, but if he will his cd's will be worth buying.

  • I grew up listing to Bach (my dad's a huge fan), so I"m not sure if this fugue is just very natural, or I really know it. I know exactly when every single next note hits, yet I barely play an instrument. Let alone that i ever played this.

  • @AlsatianCousin why so serious? :D

  • @garyleung142857 Ah okay, I apologize. I misunderstood.

  • @AlsatianCousin I know that, this video's pitch is in today's F# minor (baroque tuning, right?) however, i saw many other videos on youtube that they are in today's G# minor, so i was puzzled.

  • @garyleung142857 - they are not, the standard tuning in Bach's days was a half step lower.

  • @toxiconegro Hey, just did my first sheet music + audio vid. Would you be willing to check it out via my channel?

  • I enjoy Johan Sebastian Bach compositions.

  • Thank you for actually taking the time to actually display the written music in the slides as the piece plays. I love it!

  • Magnificent simplicity.

  • excuse me, I have a question:

    I have seen a lot of videos of this little fugue,

    why most of them had raised a semitone, i.e G# minor?
