Bach/Tausig Toccata and Fugue in D Minor Piano Tutorial Part 1

Request from the country Wallis and Futuna.

One of the most famous works in the organ repertoire, the Toccata and Fugue in D Minor, BWV 565, is a piece of organ music usually attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. However, since the 1980s, several scholars have expressed doubt that it was composed by Bach. ThisTausig and Busoni's are perhaps the two most well-known piano transcriptions.

I think most people don't understand that 1. this is a tutorial, and 2. The Busoni and Tausig transcriptions are different. I don't know if there are any more transcriptions out there (I sort of made up some stuff up in my version) but I think you should post a video at normal speed. That will stop some of the mean comments.

p.s.- I may change the way I play the Toccata after watching your video :)

@misterlaurens96 is the video description beyond your level of comprehension?

[MrPianist101]

@toremindthose You're correct. My apologies to everyone.

[bbdhrggl]

@toremindthose why do we human animals have to pick on others? if we have nothing good to say, just don't say it. peace on earth?

@MrPianist101 It is sweet that you are defending her, after all, she is kind enough to put a tutorial on here for nothing in return. However, assessing the intelligence of other people based upon negative things they may say on the internet goes somewhat to show that you are not fit to make an assessment in regards to intelligence in the first place.

You guys, just shut-up. She is a very talented person. The difference between you all and her is simply this, You ALL are dumb. She, on the other hand, is a retired Trigenometry teacher and is smarter than probably anyone of us.. So, again. just shut-up.

Thanks for the video, bbdhrggl. Once again, a GREAT tutorial.
