      So true! He has beautiful posture even though the organ design isn't helping in that matter. For modern people (at least for male at average size) the pedalboard would probably need to go deeper into the organ for relaxing and healthy posture.
      I myself is trying to correct my posture which I found out was terrible after I video recorded myself playing the other day. :(

    My roommate in academy played this and the many times he practiced, I sneaked into the pipe loft and just sat as he played, surrounded by the pipes. An experience I will never forget and one that cannot be described.
    You play at a very pleasant pace! I have heard more experienced players (strictly by age) play it as if they were just trying to show off that they CAN go faster. Just a garble of notes. Perhaps a good way to practice, but not for a performance that can be appreciated!

All this combined with the very nice ceniastic photography in this modest but very beautiful church. I think the simple church and the natural way of presenting the music goes together. The whole thing is crowned by the fun of this music, which puts a slight smile on his face in 2:18.

    This is the composition that kindled my love of music in 1978. It was on an 8-track that came as a demo with my dad's new car. I remember that it was played by Virgil Fox. I fell in love and wore the tape out. Before that I had been ambivalent towards most music. I enjoyed it but it certain was not a passion. After hearing this one, I have yearned for more ever since. God has given me a great love of music. Sadly I was not given any talent.

      @@misterchrissy I wore out the 8 Track with the Virgil Fox performance that started it all but it was E Power Biggs on cassette that I wore out when I bought the Schirmer edition of the sheet music and tried to learn to play it. I was partly successful. One of the problems I faced was brain surgery 1979 in which the corpus callosum was severed. As a result, coordinating the right and left hands was very difficult. I used the Biggs performance as my model and wore out several tapes and 2 of Panasonic's version of the "Walkman".

      Yes , Danger Russ, of course, but I was thinking of Bach’s physical presence , demeanour and attack rather than his titanic intellect which is absolutely unique. I’m just curious about the physical presence of JSB and it’s affect on those around him. It must have been pretty awe inspiring although those in the know would be aware of his compositional abilities .

      It was so called not to diminish but to distinguish it from the "great", that is "Fantasia and fugue" (BWV 542) also in G minor.
