Cette partition est elle disponible dans le commerce ?

Je ne crois pas, malhureusement.

This organ is Belgium's answer to the great Cavaillé-Coll at St. Sulpice. Both are different, but each in its own way remarkable. Post more music played on this organ please!

Thank you for sharing

No - there is no "auto-change" facility on this instrument - see my answer to john1801rambo below ...

[md95065]

@john1801rambo If you watch carefully at about 4:45 you will see him playing on a fairly soft registration on the third manual (the Recit) and reaching up under the music desk to add the reeds of the Grand Orgue (and possibly the Bombarde) before he returns to playing on the Grand Orgue at about 4:59

[md95065]

@john1801rambo ... so the player can control the reeds, mixtures and foundation stops with pedals or (in the case of this instrument) a row of knobs just under the music desk without touching any of the actual stop knobs. So, by manipulating the ventils, the pedal couplers and the (usually very effective) swell boxes the player can get lots of tonal variations.

[md95065]

@john1801rambo - This is an instrument in the French romantic style like the organs of Cavaillé-Coll which can achieve major changes in dynamics without any (obvious) stop changes. All of the manuals are coupled down to the Grand Orgue and a very full registration including reeds and mixtures are drawn on each manual - the secret is that there are also devices known as "ventils" which allow the player to enable and disable certain blocks of stops on each manual ...

@HONGYOUNGEUN No, a Pierre Schyven organ 1891

Played in one of Europe's finest cathedrals

[Inspirandus]

Captivating to listen to this famous part of Matthew's Passion - for me one of Bach's most compelling pieces - played on pipe organ.

@john1801rambo I think it was programmed for auto-change and 'modulating' the pipes

[EmperorCQX]

@john1801rambo I think it had been programmed for auto-variations or something.
