Bach's Orgelbüchlein: an introduction for performers

- Learning to play Bach on the organ, using the "Little Organ Book" or Orgelbüchlein. In this series of 46 films, we look at each prelude in turn and discuss performance issues. For all the Orgelbüchlein episodes in order, see
• Bach's Orgelbüchlein (... .
This half-hour introductory film looks at some of the general questions that we'll take for granted in each episode.
The series is presented by Dr Tim Rishton (www.rishton.eu), along with occasional guests. We use a variety of instruments, mostly in Norway and Germany.
The introductory video has been cut down from a longer talk that was recorded primarily for speech, so the recording of organ sound is not of good quality. Music sound recording is better in the individual episodes!
This episode was recorded in Bjerkreim Church in Norway. Details of the organ can be found on ryde-berg.no/opus/051-bjerkre... . Details of each organ used can be found in this position on the individual pages.

I had decided to make the orgelbuchlein my year's project when I discovered these lessons. Simply extraordinary. Thanks Dr. Tim.
That's such a delight - thank you! Good luck with the project! Tim
Within minutes of listening to your intro I knew I would have to stay to hear what more you had to say about how you interpret Bach’s technique and method of compilation. Your enthusiasm and understanding of Bach’s music is contagious - thanks
Thanks for your encouragement. I hope you enjoy the series as much as I've enjoyed making it!
Thank you very much for this rich and passionate introduction! I'm going to watch every video from this series!
Thanks for the kind comment. I'm glad you're enjoying the series (which is available as a playlist in the same order as the collection on th-cam.com/play/PLABcWksVExXsIRFhMOewhg1hNzPDUxAsR.html) - and like me will be inspired by Bach's wonderful music. Tim
Dear Sir. Do not give up. I will keep my fingers crossed so that you could finish this enormous task. Regards
Thanks for the encouragement! Tim
Thank you for putting this together. It is insightful, educational, and brilliant! A huge inspiration to sit behind the console and start learning.
Thank you - I'm delighted it's of use. The whole series is nearly complete (each episode is here www.youtube.com/@timrishton5871/videos) so if there is one piece in particular that you're studying there's probably an episode on it. Good luck with the learning!
Good intro. Great insights about fingering (yes, Bach used thumbs!), phrasing (Bach's fingering in Clavierubung can't be legato in the modern sense), and pedalling (heels likely weren't forbotten). There are some technical issues (gain too high during demo playing of Ich Ruf), but just the logical description of fingering, pedalling, and ornaments are worth the price of admission. Looking forward toward the rest of the series!
Thank you very much! Tim
THanks for the great lecture!
Thank you so much for the encouragement. Hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
Very insiteful, thank you.
Thank you - I'm glad it's of some use!
This. Is. Wonderful. Keep going. As an organ student I’m looking very much forward!!
Thank you so much! I hope to have some films posted in a week or two.
Sounds very interesting for me as an organ beginner. Subscribed.
Hope you enjoy learning the organ! Perhaps the "learning to learn" episode (th-cam.com/video/4bTJSs_QeBE/w-d-xo.html) might be of use to you as well. Good luck!
The algorithms threw up a second video soon after watching my first (Vater unser im Himmelreich). Equally gripping and had to watch right to the end. There are many pearls of wisdom here. Particularly struck by the link made between Bach's fingering and what Leopold Mozart amd others would later describe as good and bad notes. Also the idea that ornaments are not melodic but rhythmic. Remarkable how so much ground is covered in depth in such a limited time. Can't wait for the next video but will try in the meantime to put some of these ideas into practice in my practice!
Thank you for the kind comment - I'm really glad if these films are proving useful. Most of the episodes are now finished (www.youtube.com/@timrishton5871/videos), but I'm sure that there are more issues to talk about that can be included in the last handful.
Hello, Sir. Where can I get the organ stop list, please? Greetings from Brazil!
Thanks for your interest. The link to the stop list is on the 5th paragraph of the information (just click "show more")
Do you give private online lessons and how much do you charge?
Many thanks for the query. Do please contact me privately on www.rishton.info/teach.html and we can have a chat. Tim
I use novello for the chorale on the other side of the page.
Yes, the way the Novello edition provides the chorales is very valuable. Although the edition adds tempo markings and other features that we would not now regard as desirable, I find myself more and more in admiration of Walter Emery's editorial decisions regarding the musical text. A really great achievement.
Your remarks, Tim, on Novello are very interesting as it is the edition I inherited from my father. I love the print size and the layout!
@@monsieurgrigny Yes, me too. My own copy of the Novello is a treasured possession as it was a gift from my father when I started playing the organ, so it has a lot of good memories.
See Concordia's 1984 edition, with text, translations, background and a contemporary 18th-C 4 voice setting of each choral@@timrishton5871
So where are the 46 films??
Yes, I'm sorry. The student with whom I am discussing the pieces has taken maternity leave, so things are a bit slow getting going. Perhaps I will discuss a few with myself in the meantime.
At last they're all finished - hope you enjoy them! Tim
