Never heard it before. I correctly guessed it was classical period (Mozart, Haydn etc.) but that was about all.

Thanks for your comments and playing. Am wondering what is it that Bach would not do?

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.

My guess is Krebs.🤞

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

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.

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

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.

Sounds like,frm 16th century,Bach Era

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.

I was thinking of Haydn/Mozart contemporaries, so it's not even close.

That’s really helpful, we must decide what we want to achieve before we can practice! So simple but so true. A good teacher is so helpful with this. Less good teachers leave students to “make a start” on a piece. I think there’s lots to discuss before beginning to play a note! Thank you.

Much respect for these videos. Merci.

Insightful and inspirational, as always! Thank you!

Thank you for a lovely and enlightening answer to my question about performance!

Every episode, of the many I've watched, makes me look again at the music before I run to the organ to try out a new concept. Thank you for putting such joy in our art.

Awesome!

Really good question from Ogion. I have wondered the same thing. When you have learned all the notes, decided and mastered all the details, how do you take that last step and make it all sound fantastic when you're actually doing it as a performance?

Brilliant performance - I've always felt embarrassed to play this piece because it seems to lack any good qualities, but you make it sound like a masterpiece. How do you do that? How does a real professional like you take a piece of music that isn't really very good and make it sound so great? You've talked a lot in this series about details, but how would you advise us average organists to raise our game and make any old piece of music into something spectacular?

Hello Dr. Tim, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode, especially the practical tips. I can only agree with you. Each Chorale is a master piece, but the BWV 617 has a little bit the edge over the others. There are a few bars which are so celestially emotional: 19-22. I wish I had the musical knowledge to fully understand what he did here. 😳🤷🏼‍♂️🙏

Really great and helpful

another brilliant and insightful instruction!

Eine einzigartige und wertvolle Serie, mit Aufführungshinweisen zu jedem Stück einzeln und zu den Präludien als Ganzes. Es gibt nichts anderes wie es auf YT. Vielen Dank für all die Arbeit und dafür, dass Sie sie zur Verfügung stellen!

I can never decide whether I love these Brahms pieces for their beauty or hate them for their depressiveness, but I do like these performances. Great command and authority, and it all feels music-driven. Lovely varied selection of organs, old and new, all mechanical and all beautiful. Excellent professional recording quality as well.

Nice with the pedal trills in the fugue!

Nice registration.

I have found an extreme example of the pedal doubling the left hand. In a volume of Gems for the organ Bk 1, edited and arranged by W R B Tann, there are several examples. In his version of Handel's 'The King shall rejoice' the doubling is pretty much 70 per cent!!

Bravo! Thank you!

Very enjoyable thank you. I see this is one that is said to be in the 'galant style'. I guess that refers to the prelude. Is that due to the chordal nature of the writing? Can you have a fugue in that style? Do you follow the pedalling for the fugue in the Novello ed with the 3rd and 4th quavers played with the left foot , T,H or H,T?

this is one of the first pieces I learned to play :) still struggling with keeping the rhythm

This sparkly and rhythmic performance really transforms a potentially dull piece and brings it to life. It's never sounded so good!

My favourite too!!!

Wonderful! Love the registration.

Very nice piece and ver nicely played. Chordal accompaniment reminded me of Erbarm' dich mein, O Herre Gott.

Such a gorgeous and moving chorale prelude. I didn't know it before and would never have guessed the composer. Beautiful organ and performance, too. Thank you.

I had never heard the piece, and my guess was Pachelbel, on account of the work's smoothness and a rather elusive 'poetic' quality I associate with Pachelbel's writing. I now want to go and learn pieces by the actual composer 🙂. Thank you so much for another great video and a beautiful performance.

Indeed a very beautiful piece. Thanks for sharing.

I'm curious why you find it so outstanding? I wish you could have given us more reasons for your opinion that it is so outstanding. I admit, that I don't recall ever hearing it before, and I only listened to it once. And I didn't hear anything that seemed all that special to me....sounded typical for the era and country it was composed in. Maybe I am just ignorant...educate me!

Böhm…

I took the symbolism of suspensions to be something like the heaving of breath, though the music is beautiful in a way that captures both the tension of pain and passion. Speaking of suspensions, I love your commentary on the articulation because I had been contemplating this exact same problem. It makes me feel like we are all on this same journey together.

This is the only piece in that collection that gave me trouble (and still does today).
