I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm not a musician but have been trying to learn piano for the last two years after my retirement. Would it be appropriate to say that CPE Bach had an influence on this style? I am using his piano keyboard exercises and I've heard that he was a bridge between his Father and the Baroque style and the Classical era.
I'm delighted that you're here. Good luck with learning the piano - lots of work but very rewarding! You're absolutely right about CPE Bach (and Bach's sons in general) forming part of the transition from dad's old-fashioned style towards the Classical style. And this piece is another part of that same transition. Tim
Great idea for a series. Hope you do more of these. And what a lovely organ - filmed and recorded so very beautifully. The final picture of the church, behind the river/lake? is stunning as well.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it! Yes, I will do some more of these - perhaps slightly less obscure works! Bjerkreim church is a lovely place to be - beautiful organ in a gorgeous setting - so I do enjoy making episodes there. Tim
Not dumb in the least. Mendelssohn certainly combines some traditional mid-German elements with a chordal narrative concept, which describes this piece pretty well. But it is a bit earlier than Mendelssohn, as it happens. Tim
Either J L Krebs or Kittel would be my guess. It sounds post-Bach, but still influenced by him, while incorporating some of the harmonic and melodic gestures of pre-Classical style.
Kittel would be an excellent guess. Kittel was the teacher of several of this composer's contemporaries, and wrote in very much this style. Great analysis! Tim
I just had a look, and for some reason, as you say, it doesn't show up on a search of Bärenreiter's own music shop in the UK - but it is there nevertheless (www.barenreiter.co.uk/organ-music-of-the-classical-and-early-romantic-volume-1.html). Someone needs to have a word with them about their website! Tim
My first guess was Rinck, but after about a minute I thought, it might be one of those really unknown Middle German Composers from the late 18th century/early 19th century like Umbreit, Vierling or Fischer. And indeed, I wasn't wrong with that guess.
Excellent guesses! You know your repertoire very well! Wirklich interessant, Ihre Filme über Orgeln im Norden zu sehen. Vielleicht ist Ihnen aufgefallen, dass die Hälfte meiner Serie „8 Kleine Präludien und Fugen“ (th-cam.com/play/PLABcWksVExXvcMfZzhf9XLHeXqlSj0QiJ.html) auf Orgeln in Mecklenburg Vorpommern gedreht wurde. Tim
I mention the composer's name immediately after the end of the piece. The work doesn't actually have a title, though the same composer entitled several of his similar pieces "Fürs volle Werk" (for full organ - a term that implies all the main stops on the main manual, rather than a 20th-century concept of coupling down reeds from secondary manuals!) Tim

I don't know if this is dumb but I almost immediately thought of young Mendelssohn, but he's too well known.

Never heard it before. I correctly guessed it was classical period (Mozart, Haydn etc.) but that was about all.
Yes, it's fairly obscure. But well done with your guess! Tim

Thanks for the link to the book. Looks like a great series. Sadly, it doesn't seem available in the UK anymore.

I was thinking of Victoria 6:01 n era!! I didn't see info on the piece at the end of the video. Pse could you give me the title and composer.

I was thinking of Haydn/Mozart contemporaries, so it's not even close.
Not far off at all - really good guess! Tim
Sounds like,frm 16th century,Bach Era
Nice try. Bach is a good guess: this is just a few years later. Tim
My guess is Krebs.🤞
Nice guess! Tim
