2:57 Harmony, counterpoint, beautiful melodic lines, what could possibly go wrong? 3:10 FUCK IT, LET'S GO FULL-ON DIMINISHED OUT OF THE GODDAMN BLUE! Oh boi do I love Bach's music because of things like this one.
Day-yum! I have a hard enough time handling polyphony on one instrument (concert guitar), and fully admire pianists that can get both their hands going up and down the keyboard. Then to add in the feet for a third line by one musician, a single organist... I can do nothing but grovel at the musicianship of such god-like beings!
I find it funny when people look at us organists in this light, anyone can learn with enough practice. And guitar and organ are such vastly different instruments, I couldn’t imagine playing a guitar.
What an amazing Bach piece! I love how he compiled so many themes in the fugue to bring all of them in perfect harmony! And the prelude was absolutely astounding... I would gladly donate money to your channel, but I'm only 14... but bravo Gerubach!
Beautiful registrations! The prelude has a scintillating chimes-like timbre that reminds sparkling water in its first section that is fantastically contrasted with the powerful plenum in the second section, and the exotic sound "colors" of the fugue. Interesting too is that both movements end with the same clausula.
Let me describe my feeling starting from 3:02 when pedal point at low C begins: - C -> C7 - looks fine. :) - C7 -> F - interesting chromatic shifting down of upper voice. :) - F -> Fm - upper voice continues to shift down chromatically. Very very dark voicing. :| - At 3:10, Fm -> Bdim7/C - stunning god like dissonance... like final judgement @.@ - After Bdim7/C, serious power comes from the heaven wrapping up the prelude. :3
Ah! Thank you so much! This is a beautiful recording, and the scrolling score really helps me understand and digest the piece much more easily, I cannot thank you enough!
Aaah..the 4 note ascending/descending notes of the prelude seem to indicate flames..much like the flames of Hell burning sinners..fits perfectly for the "infernal" key of FMinor..wouldn't you say? :P
this idea comes up in two of bach's other f minor pieces, the sinfonia in f minor and the fugue in f minor (wtc book 1) the f minor fugue in wtc book 2 reminds me of beethoven's first sonata in f minor
The style of this piece reminds me a little bit of J. L. Krebs. Especially the Finale in the Fugue and the chromatics in Prelude and Fugue (the Theme is also very significant).
Can you please make a video showing the piano key arrangements for this? I really want to learn this but I can’t follow the music just want something to get me going

It's amazing how Bach's music sounds so good even when the interpretation and registrations are wildly different. Compare this performance with Michael Murray's at Zwolle: th-cam.com/video/L0IPY_BRkcM/w-d-xo.html Murray uses nearly full organ for his performance, whereas this organist uses very light flutes instead. Both sound musically interesting and engaging, but are completely different in their sound and mood.
Who's the performer? It sounds very neo-baroque and 1960s/70s. The registration changes in the fugue really detract from that fabulous and under-rated piece.
Ah, how amazing I am...
Yes, you are
Amazing bach how your fugues are the incredible touch of artistry in my life. Thank you.
so amazing you are immortal.
Yes, YOU ARE!!!!
No
Bach fugues are my favourites, i don't know if it's just the fugal structure itself or Bach's genius compositions or both

@@jnmusic9969 "Anyone can learn...", Well said! 👍
A minor key work without the piccardy third at the end. Nice.
AJ Muzik
No idea what you are talking about but it sounds impressive :) I love Bach though (obviously) This channel though, WOW!!!
It's not too rare, it happens in both movements of 543 also.
+Alex Hayes I believe it's only the second movement, but still, it's a wonderful piece!
But I think a Picardy makes it Bach.
Sometimes, there is no hope at the end ;)

Those two bars from 4:12 are pretty crazy
They are indeed.
Pretty amazing.
According to wikipedia this piece was composed by Wilhelm Friedemann Bach. That's how I came here
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilhelm_Friedemann_Bach
I don't think so
When the bass and plenum kicks in after 7:22
That part is awesome
No, start at 7:00/7:07

Very nice performance.

Today, this piece is attributed to Whilelm Friedemann. But still wonderful !
Do you have a source for this?

lol my mans really put his youtuber channel in the sheet music
Intress
4:33 BWV 538 Toccata
Can someone elaborate on why this piece is thought to not be written by Bach?
^ it really sounds like him to me tbh

How did most of the editions write in Dorian notation instead of F minor notation in BWV 534?

A cuantos voces es?
Fantastic!
What organ stop is he using?
I think 8', 2' and 1 1/3'
Quite a few...
Is that a PIPE organ?
Too fast. By reducing the tempo to 0.75 x one obtains the tempo of the excellent Helmut Walcha, who ideally grasps it IMO.
Waay too fast both prelude and fuga.
Chapuis again :( And again mechanical, MIDI-like performance without any understanding of the phrases. What a pity.
