I agree with the others that your tempo is fine. But if your teacher insisted you play with that fingering, he/she should be horsewhipped. Bach was a STRONG advocate of using the thumbs more. I am willing to bet that if Bach ever played this, he used his thumbs and little fingers on black notes if that facilitated it. I know, ya "gotta do it" for now. Later, when on your own, play it the way that makes the most comfortable for you. My profs certainly didn't insist on any archaic fingering!

@MelosAntropon Well, I'm sorry butI think that really is the most comfortable and the best way to play baroque music. It forces me to play good articulation, belive me. It's not only my teacher, I had courses with Polish/German/UK/France/Hollan­d top profs. Most of them play only using 2nd,3rd,4th finger. There can be some exceptions but I think I'll stick with what I'm used to :)

Is this a Walcker organ=

[Frost69]

@tomasitok2 No, It's Schlag&Sohne

Your technique is much too tense. significant and unnecessary finger and arm action, and your wrists are too low. It's good to keep in mind that organ technique is very different from piano technique, especially for baroque music

[Frost69]

@Gcizzlito I know that, now I'm trying to be 'economical' in my moves while playing manual and pedal also. Baroque technique is indeed difficult, not playing the black keys with 1st or 5th finger, playing pedal with only the top of the feet, grouping, registration rules, and so on... it's no good when someone just learn a piece and think he just need to play the notes and it will be all, I agree.

Please note that this is almost 3 years since I posted video.

Thank You for comment

HI MR. RESH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Teigen64 Pachelbel was the teacher of J S Bach's older brother and god-father to their sister before taking up his post in Nurenburg. One of Pachelbel's son's emigrated to Charleston, SC.
