Learning to play the organ using the "8 short preludes and fugues" (8 Kleine Präludien und Fugen, BWV 553-560). Describing them as "not by J S Bach" is a deliberate dig - these pieces really ought to be enjoyed in their own right rather than being derided for what they are not.
Episode 2: Number 2 in D minor.
The series is presented by Dr Tim Rishton (www.rishton.eu)
This episode was recorded in Sandnes Church in Norway. For details of
the organ, see www.rishton.no/...
For all the "8 short" episodes in order, see ruclips.net/p/PLABcWksVExXvcMfZzhf9XLHeXqlSj0QiJ Thanks for all the questions and feedback - all appreciated!
Thank you very much for this informative video.
You are very welcome! I'm glad it was useful. Tim
Really helpful on articulating the fugue subject.
That's great - glad it was helpful! Tim
Thank you again doc! I enjoyed your playing! You will read more from me.
Excellent! You're very welcome. Tim
Wonderful, thank you. I thought that I can keep up with you learning these 8 preludes, but alas, it is not to be. But it is my goal for the summer!
Sounds great, Martin! The very best of luck with learning the others! Tim
Would it be worthwhile for me to do an FRCO, and do you offer private online tutoring?
Many thanks for the question. Yes, I do private online tutoring or coaching for FRCO and similar - see rishton.info/teach.html . As to whether it's worth doing an FRCO, that really depends on why you want it. That sort of exam is great for providing focus and incentive to work: a goal to reach up to. The actual qualification in itself is unlikely to make a huge difference in your life, but the process of getting there might do so. Give it a shot - and good luck! Tim
It's organised almost as a ... Key-asm? Sorry, can you explain that?
Chiasm. Ancient literary structural device, which puts one statement (usually the most significant one) dead centre, nested inside a whole sequence of other statements that match each other on each side, rather like nested brackets in an equation (or nested html tags if you're into web design). So it produces a structure that you might describe as EDCB-A-BCDE. My favourite chiasm (possible the greatest chiasm ever written) is the biblical story of Noah, which centres on God turning his attention to Noah (Genesis 8:1), with no less than 15 matching statements on each side, reaching from the mention of Noah in Genesis 6:10a to the mention of Noah in Genesis 9:19. Absolutely incredible feat of design, especially given that this chiasm contains a unit of mini-chiasms along the way, and that the second half of it also shadows the creation narrative step by step. Absolutely breathtaking. My point here, though, is that the CBABC structure of this piece doesn't seem quite deliberate enough, nor is the middle section significant enough, to properly be regarded as a chiasm. But it would have been a nice thought ... Tim
