02 My First Organ Piece

- Last time's video I played a grade 1 piano piece - the first piece I learned on the organ. But, as I was learning that, aged 15, I also had to learn the first exercise in my organ primer, "The Organ" by W G Alcock. The first piece I learned that was actually written for the organ.
Hay quá bạn , classic organ , tôi rất thích nó .🙆♂️
Thank you.
Just clicked the bell icon❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hello Andrew, from way down under, in Australia. You have an excellent Johannes organ. I have the same model and enjoy playing it. Thank you for letting me hear you playing your organ. Doug Baker
Wonderful ❣❣❣
I enjoyed your pieces and congratulate you on continuing to study and perform organ music. I am inspired to return to the pursuit and practice of the day grant because of your example. Thankyou.
In regards to C# and Db; that's why it's important to mark you score in what ever way makes it easier for you. Even if this means crossing out the note and writing C#. I also write in fingering (essential fingering, not every note) so that when I practice it I can do it the same way each time. This helps you learn something much faster than using random fingers each time. I look forward to your next video.
My music theory is pretty rusty, but presumably it's written like this due to the harmonic progression - so technically correct even though both notes are effectively the same.
Very nice. Thank you. The reason for the D flat is that the music is modulating to a new key at that point - A flat major, by way of an E flat 7 chord which includes the D flat. C sharp is not part of the scale of either E flat or A flat major, so technically Mr Alcock is writing according to the rules even if it looks rather confusing. Hoping this helps explain the passage.
If those were exercises, then well done to Mr Alcock for writing such tuneful ones, and to you for playing them so attractively, I enjoyed listening to them.
This is a wonderful idea, and well played, that’s a lovely sound too. Looking forward to hearing more of your journey on the organ.
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us Andrew - it takes real courage!! I can't wait to see and hear the next instalments: keep up the fantastic work! ❤️
Agree with James' suggestions here - there's also times I write in the notes I'm supposed to play (ie: C, D etc), especially in fiddly or annoying spaces.
What wonderful little pieces! I recognise myself in your account of your first organ lessons. I started the piano at 8 and the organ at 13. We had a 2-manual Compton in our school chapel and possibilities of going to practice several times a day. I later found that learning harmony and counterpoint were precious for understanding what is going on in a piece, through modulations, chromatic harmony and awkward notes like in that second Alcock piece you showed us. You play them beautifully. "If music be the food of love, play on...."
My first organ book was the Alcock and the pedal exercises were very good (I now think - perhaps I didn't at the time). I didn't enjoy the manuals-only pieces in the volume so I admire your rendition of them which I thought was extremely good. Can we have a piece with pedals next time?
Pedals? Oh does the organ have pedals! Yes, I will attempt pedals on a straightforward Bach chorale, and even then I'll make a mess of them.
