Hmm. Fabulous organ. I've played it many times long ago. It's the best sounding organ in the world, in my opinion. Sorry to be a downer here. However, I must point out that the playing style here is incorrect. This is the Romantic style for playing Chopin or even Beethoven, but not Bach. For Bach, learn to use a metronome. Please stop the accelerandos and dramatic pauses. None of this is necessary with Bach and it's annoying. The drama in Bach's music comes from the harmonies and complexity. He built it right into the music. Just play what's on the page, straight as it was written. The music takes care of it all. The key to playing Bach is precision. The mark of a good player of Bach is self-discipline. This is not Rachmaninoff. You don't need or want to add anything of your own to it. If you do, it just annoys people.
@@haldentoyorganist3896 Of course you can. There are all manner of opinions because this is art. I've expressed mine and the opinions of my teachers. You are welcome to express yours.

Two words....stylus fantasticus.
Can site sources? Because I can site all sorts of sources that dictate this is more or less a good approach to the Stylus Phantasticus....

@@PhillipLandmeier I dunno.... when you say something is "incorrect" that sounds like declaration of a "fact"
@@haldentoyorganist3896 Did your teachers qualify all of their opinions? I think not.
