Great sequences, splendid figures in pedals, the composer did not hide the valuation to organ music of baroque - that is our happiness: we get to enjoy brilliant organ music
The younger organists really seem to like this. It is a good piece of music. And it sounds harder than it is. The Bach style pedal passages are also great exercises in technique. I agree there are a number of great organ Toccatas in D minor including those by Bach and Buxtehude.
Why don't you play the first two eighth notes in tempo each time? I assume you're trying to keep things from getting muddy. But the consequence is exactly the opposite. Not only is it still thick and somewhat muddy, but we lose the one grounding thing we need to pull us from the muddiness, which is the sense of rhythm/time. It's very disconcerting. But I love the piece, nonetheless.
@@bennaarsongidi9269 Thank you for your profound and erudite lesson in music criticism. Your sterling prose and profound ideas stand as inspirations to us all. Alas, I have not yet been able to discover a way of conveying the sound of beef stew boiling in the pot to a RU-vid audience--except through the circular means of citing the unfortunate performance on this video. Should I discover such a way, I shall be sure to contact you posthaste.
