To me, the Toccata always sounded like the most brilliant musical savant finding a pipe organ for the very first time, learning it as he plays and improvising the most amazing things. There is such a sense of progression to it all. 0:20 - what is this? 0:28 - what if I ascend and descend mostly adjacent keys very quickly? 0:47 - *accidentally steps on something* 1:04 - hey, I can play with my feet! 1:56 - wait, I have an idea! 2:02 - watch this! 2:07 - *blows everyone's minds*
Do you read minds? I was just telling @DerMeisterXZ the same exact thing. Sounds like a bell tolling. Heartbreaking, especially nowadays with so many people dying.
Thanks for the heads up! I'm usually brain-dead by the time I upload and "proof-screen" these videos. I've already corrected the title. I'm trying to get the harder works uploaded first, so the St. John Passion is high on my list. However, I've already set my sights on the Mass in B Minor for the next assignment. I usually animate smaller works in between larger works to ease the brain. So hang in there! BWV 245 will eventually come around.
a million years ago I rewrote the adagio for oboe and strings. At that time I played about 12-15 instruments, and oboe was like #5, but it sounded pretty good anyway. We even played it in a concert in college.
The adagio part is heartbreaking. Sounds mournful. And in this day & age of COVID it is REALLY heartbreaking. I only came here to post a comment, not to listen to it. Oh my breaking heart!!!!!!!! I like the toccata & fugue part, but not the adagio.

@@mazarinivmikeoxlong-dedica969 I have heard this piece before. I have CDs of Bach organ works, so I know very well what it sounds like. So yes, I HAVE listened to it before (maybe not on this recording, but in general, I have listened to it)
That's so extraordinarily beautiful in itself’s sadness. And that's opens exactly in the Adagio. That's need an arrangement with full string orchestra and oboe.
One of the best of Bach's compositions of this type. All 3 movements with different enough but fit well together. Even the fugue was interesting enough to hold the listener throughout its length. These make me wish I had access to an organ again. (And longer fingers) Thanks for uploading these.
Michel Chapuis (died november 12th 2017, RIP) is a genuis in playing Bach : he has a unique sense of drive, polyphonic clarity and singing, as can be heard in this fabulous piece.
I find it absolutely extraordinary how Chapuis keeps the top line of the grave section of the adagio on the solo stop. That’s seven voice counterpoint, he must have hands the size of plates! (Or got a registrant to do it!) It’s a stunning effect, but with my relatively small hands there’s no way I can imitate it sadly.
@@emilmanke1020 this is a recording by French organist Michel Chapuis; probably from 1966 when he recorded the complete organ works of Bach. I too find the virtuosic foot lines coordinated with the hands to be an incredible feat of dexterity.
Thank you for sharing this masterpiece of Bach's. By the scrolling method one can really follow and analyse at the same time. You've done a fine job, and I see that you've done plenty more too. You deserve lots of encouragement. Sorry I can't pay, but I do wish you all the best. Please continue your fine work.
For all the people that think this is played too fast! no way - it's like flowing water and beams of sunlight streaming down on you. Unbridled joy. Except of course for the Adagio - which is the essence of solitude and missing someone.
The Adagio part is so totally 💔heartbreaking 💔. The rest of the piece makes me happy. The ONLY compositions by Bach and Handel that I don't like are *the ones that 💔 break my heart 💔.* If they don't 💔 break my heart 💔 I love them. Bach and Handel were 👍the best 👍!
I just subscribed....I love all of your works! As a classical (especially Baroque) musician, you have done a great job and service to all of us in youtubeland. Vielen dank für alles das Sie, für uns, getan haben! Ich höre gut zu, gerne! Wenn ich höre, hab' ich Tränen in meinen Augen.
What’s crazy about that one chord at the end of the Adagio is that it’s so honest about how fucked up the feelings leading up to it are; it’s the chaos that comes from indulging too long in “negativity.”
Great work, thank you. BWV 564 has long been a favourite of mine, although (or maybe because?) the Toccata keeps leaving me with the impression that Bach must have had a troll side. For me, some of the phrases at the beginning almost evoke the tics of a person suffering from Tourette syndrome.
Fluency? From measure 24 onward, certainly. But up until there, Bach keeps disrupting the flow, abruptly breaking out of thirty-seconds or sixteenths runs, and interjecting short phrases like afterthoughts or sudden strokes of imagination. This contributes to what I perceive as a humourous, almost mocking tone, which I find unexpected in context (baroque church music, after all, not Modal Jazz). And given Bach's uncontested genius, I suspect this was intentional.
Boy does turning up volume on headphones make a difference. On low volume sounds like there is a lack of acoustic, flat sounding, for some of the registers, to the point where I almost think it's an electronic recording. Definitely takes away from some of the more profound moments in the piece.
I know this is a late respons, but a common practice among many recording is to speed up the recording itself. I've been at many recording sessions for organ repertoire, and sometimes they literally go measure by measure, removing tons of errors etc... And then, as I said, speed up the recording to make it more impressive. This gives a false impression to many students for music, and as such here for the organ, to think it has to be played like that. Sure if you REALLY put yourself up to it, perhaps you could play it that fast. Then again, the acoustics CAN'T follow that. Just think about how quick this recording is, and how impossible it would be for the sound to be so crystal clear VS the long acoustics. It's just too funny, but that's how it is. Hopefully this has answered your question once and for all.
That level of speed is completely playable, and not only for big time concert organists- as for practicality in a space, yes you'd need a pretty dry acoustic and a nimble instrument but I have no real reason to suspect this piece was recorded and made with 50 splices (as does occassionally happen), I've heard plenty more difficult and faster pieces played live wonderfully.
I don't understand what you mean by "troll side". The toccata is of profound musical-improvisatory brilliance, linearly exploring as it does its melodious landscape in an absolutely breathtaking fashion, very much like Coltrane's Giant Steps, a process which is expanded later on in multiple voices via Bach's superb mastery of counterpoint, without losing any of its fluency. I can't for the life of me see what Tourette's has to do with it.
Eines meiner Lieblingsstücke! Aber vielleicht kann mir ja jemand weiterhelfen: Höre da an manchen Stellen des wundervollen Adagios einige Triller, die so nicht in der Notenschrift enthalten sind! Welchen Spielraum haben da die Organisten? Und was bedeuten die gestrichelten Klammern bei 07:38 bis 7:56? Danke an dieser Stelle für Gerubach für die wundervolle Arbeit!!
Burt Vierundfuffzig Zu den Trillern gibt es ganz verschiedene Ansichten, gerade für Stücke aus dem Barock. Die einen sehen es als den richtigen Weg an, wenn der Interpret gewisse Noten, wo es von der Harmonielehre her sinnvoll ist, mit Trillern und Vorhalten umspielt. Denn dies war in der Barockzeit durchaus üblich. Andere lehnen diese Aufführungspraxis ab und bevorzugen die Variante, wo sich strikt an den Notentext gehalten wird. Manche sagen auch, dass es von Komponist zu Komponist und von Stück zu Stück verschieden ist und immer darauf ankommt, was der Interpret ausdrücken möchte. Meiner Meinung nach ist es wichtig, dass, wenn man möchte, sich die Freiheit nimmt, die Ornamentik nach eigenem Gutdünken zu gestalten. Zumindest sollte man sich darüber Gedanken machen. Die Klammern bedeuten nach meiner Vermutung nur, dass es 2 verschiedene Handschriften gibt, und dass der Teil in den Klammern eventuell weggelassen werden kann, unter anderem auch weil er nur eine Wiederholung der beiden Takte davor ist.
Playing so fast takes away from the impact (especially in The Toccata). The Organist actually has to Pause artifially some times so it doesn't become too smudeged, which takes away from The flow. Lionel Rogg had the ideal tempo for this piece. .
Sorry for my bad English. Are you sure that the lack of "dance-like quality" has something to do with the pace? I believe not. It's more important how they play. I also believe that Bach wrote this only to impress people. He didn't impressed anyone by playing this slowly. This organist play the pedal solo very good, steady rhythm, and without the typical romantic nonsens, like the solo is a part from his cello suites. The very last chord in the fugue, he witout doubt playing wrong.
Hah, yeah, I bet, it looks like it takes a lot of work! Five programs for one video?! I wouldn't even be able to edit a video with one! It's a lot of dedication you put into these. No rush, I just thought you might enjoy it. The Mass in b is great as well, I remember you scrolled the Agnus Dei awhile back as well, so you've probably still got the score for that lying around somewhere!
het praeludium is buitengewoon indrukkend gespeeld de uitkomende stem in het middendeel heeft misschien niet de meest juiste registerkeuze er op volgend en het derde deel in deze compositie wordt naar mijn smaak te veel (wat zal ik zeggen) iets te veel legato genomen, als of het tweede deel nog te veel doorresoneert, Maar het zou kunnen dat ik op mijn mening terug kom, want hier is duidelijk een vakman aan het werk
This is so weird. Does anyone know the date? I'd like to think this was from Bach's early period when he was smoking pot and listening to Frank Zappa records.
He probably plays the upper part with the right fingers of his left hand, whilst playing the other notes of that staff also with the right hand, but on the other manual. It is possible if it is not to fast, as here. :)
@@engelbertschoormans Hi, thanks very much for the reply! Still trying to wrap my head around it, though. Do you mean he plays the melody voice with the right fingers of the right hand, but the top accompaniment voice(s) with the left fingers of the right hand on a different manual?
I'm pretty sure the fugue is sped up. People back in the day used to do that to make the performance sound more "clean". I don't know... Maybe not, but he was sure really going for it... And there isn't much of a natural reverberation sound in the organ. So this being the actual tempo is suspicious to me.
J'admire beaucoup Mr Michel Chapuis mais je trouve que la vitesse un peu excessive à mon avis mette surtout en lumière la technique au dépend de l'expression et de la respiration.

Those stops for the middle (adagio) section are not well chosen. It isn't supposed to sound so much like a cross between a kazoo and an oboe. I've heard other recordings with more of a flute sound here and it sounds sweeter and better. Oh and I think the ending should slow down before the final chord for better effect. Overall excellent piece and a joy to listen to. Why didn't the score the low C at the end on the bottom staff for the pedal?
Mike Oxlong the adagio was beautiful but I think he was having a bit of fun on the first one. Even the adagio seems reminiscent of memes where a recorder plays the music instead

Bit too fast in the toccata and fugue for my taste, losing the dance-like quality of the latter, but helpful to have the scrolling score.
The Adagio is one of the best melodies ever written, I think.
Yes
Heartbreaking. In my opinion only joyful melodies are the best. A sad melody might be well-written but due to the mood it can't be the best. Nononono.

WUNDER !!! Tepper Michael.
This seems almost like a homework exercise.
interesting synced scrolling thing
The adagio is just neapolitan sixth galore
I'm not an experienced organist. What's happening at 8:16? Shouldn't that require three hands considering the registration?
He probably plays the upper part with the right fingers of his left hand, whilst playing the other notes of that staff also with the right hand, but on the other manual. It is possible if it is not to fast, as here. :)
@@engelbertschoormans Hi, thanks very much for the reply! Still trying to wrap my head around it, though. Do you mean he plays the melody voice with the right fingers of the right hand, but the top accompaniment voice(s) with the left fingers of the right hand on a different manual?
I'm pretty sure the fugue is sped up. People back in the day used to do that to make the performance sound more "clean". I don't know... Maybe not, but he was sure really going for it... And there isn't much of a natural reverberation sound in the organ. So this being the actual tempo is suspicious to me.
A bit fast for my liking. I used to have a recording of Albert Scheitzer playing this. He nailed it
J'admire beaucoup Mr Michel Chapuis mais je trouve que la vitesse un peu excessive à mon avis mette surtout en lumière la technique au dépend de l'expression et de la respiration.
The Great Fugue that no one talks about

وبالنسبة لي هاي افضل منها 😁
Those stops for the middle (adagio) section are not well chosen. It isn't supposed to sound so much like a cross between a kazoo and an oboe. I've heard other recordings with more of a flute sound here and it sounds sweeter and better. Oh and I think the ending should slow down before the final chord for better effect. Overall excellent piece and a joy to listen to. Why didn't the score the low C at the end on the bottom staff for the pedal?
please can u link me for a better performance than this one? Ty
+joeknesiz I would humbly suggest the Lionel Rogg version, amico mio. It's the one that hooked me for all time.

Why do you go to such lengths just to have a scrolling score?
Wonderful shitpost by bach
if you could call it that
Mike Oxlong the adagio was beautiful but I think he was having a bit of fun on the first one. Even the adagio seems reminiscent of memes where a recorder plays the music instead
@@alexmccullough1961 that's just the tuning of the organ
@@alexmccullough1961 are you making fun of the music?
