Very nice, thank you, Andreas. I like the detail of using a similar organ sample set to the original organ used by the composer.

Well played, Andreas! I think these must be considerably more challenging to play than you made them sound.

Nettes Stück. Würde sicher auch auf dem Klavier klingen. Ich frage mich, wie sicher diese Stücke einem der beiden Instrumente zugeordnet werden können.

Como estas Este Tarde Senior Andreas Oisander,muy exelente y recommend,entre JoachimEhlers por tropical Costa Rica

Thanks Andreas. Yes, it is harmonically interesting. Well played.

Klasse Fund! Vielen Dank und einen schönen Advent!

Schöne Bearbeitung dieses wunderbaren Adventschorqls. Kehl kannte ich noch gar nicht bisher, vielen Dank fürs einspielen

Very nicely done & I like your registration. (I don't actually recognise this chorale so I didn't identify the tune from the music. 😊) Thank you.

It's the first time that I listen to it. Thanks a lot for posting it. Greetings from Brazil.

I enjoy your registration. I've played some of Kehl's preludes and I'm never sure what registrations are most effective.

An interesting setting which is by no means too quick to reveal the tune upon which it is based! Thanks: this is new to me.

Dankeschön 👋 Einer der schönsten Märsche der Welt 💯

What a fascinating version! I'm currently learning the Vetter one. Quite different! Thank you very much.

Beautiful piece, thank you for sharing your talent

Ich Idiot habe bis heute nicht gewußt, daß es von Beethoven ist. Schande über mich.

Für diesen Marsch gibt es auch ein selten gespieltes Trio. Wurde dies später eingefügt, und stammt es von Beethoven selbst?

herzlichen Dank für die meditativen Momente zum Tagesausklang, immer wieder ein großes Geschenk dein Orgelspiel... alles Liebe Marco

A rich, well rounded registration for this excellent setting of the tuneful hymn. Thank you & well played. 😊

Interessanter Komponist, wirklich! Kannte ihn noch nicht, obwohl ich so ziemlich alles für Orgel kenne, aber F. W. Stade ist mir völlig entgangen. Auch gut gespielt! Vielen Dank für diesen Upload. Grüsse aus der Schweiz.

Lovely! Your notes mention the amount of thought that went into the registration choice. I can only think that you have chosen wisely to bring out the warm, rich sound implied by the harmonies. Very good, thanks!

Wie immer eine Freude, herzlichen Dank!

Great music. Where can I find the score? Thank you

Well played, Andreas & interesting notes, thank you. It worked very well to have the transposed chorale at the end. I wonder if you transposed by eye or by the score?

Another well-crafted composition from Sjögren! His harmonic language is unusual but it inspires confidence that he knows where he's going. Thank you, Andreas. This series of recordings is proving well worth exploring in its entirety.

I very much like the restrained mystical grandeur of this composition. Excellent playing, Andreas. Thank you!

A very pleasant performance of my favourite piece by Sorge. Thank you! 😁

Sorge seems to have had a gift for gentle melody that's very pleasing to the ear. Thanks Andreas.

A lively and enjoyable piece of 'galant' music. I enjoyed your video presentation too. Thank you.

Thanks - glad to hear more of this composer.

Thank you for this bright & likeable music. I think I need to hear the other piece mentioned in the notes!

A peaceful melody. 😊 I've a feeling this one would also work on a piano. Thank you.

Wie immer: allerbesten Dank, wunderschön und berührend Marco

Very beautiful & moving. Can't imagine a more perfect registration choice for this wistful & sincere tune. Thank you very much indeed, Andreas!

Another welcome addition to your ever-increasing store of agreeable counterpoint. Thank you very much, Andreas.

Wie immer: herzlichen Dank, ich freue mich jedesmal eine neue Folge zu hören, einfach wunderbar, welch schönes Geschenk an uns alle... wünsche alles Liebe und Gute Marco

An atmospheric registration that suits the mystery of the piece. Thank you.

An unusual sound from the registration- at least to this UK organist. Lovely nonetheless! 😃

Very jolly & played with admirable tidiness too! Thanks a lot, Andreas!

This is certainly great fun Andreas and makes a change from your usual repertoire.

Danke - ich singe und musiziere auch, meist daheim!❤

Hat mir gut gefallen, dankesehr!

English version of the video description (Jacob Philipp) Adolph Scherzer is one of those composers who gained fame by means of a single piece, one that (at least in Bavaria) everybody knows -- even though most might struggle to name its author. On the one hand this is unfair, since someone capable of writing something like this no doubt possessed great talent, which his other, forgotten works must reflect too. On the other hand this march is anything but forgotten. Indeed in Bavaria it has advanced to the status of a kind of second state anthem, after the official one (heard here in a rather pretty government propaganda video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYObfZKOgKmDnZo -- no, I'm not currently planning an organ version...) It has become customary in Bavaria that when the minister president (head of government) visits, the local band will strike up this march ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWW5paSpodClmdU ). It is also heard before home matches of the football club, FC Bayern München ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/opKcfqeOgqqXeas ), and at the annual Oktoberfest the mayor of Munich is expected to "conduct" it (2013: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jWGnYnWQgKueoMk , 2023: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bnbMZJKQrJqGh7M). Scherzer, a Lutheran from the former Franconian possessions of the Hohenzollern dynasty, was not exactly a Bavarian archetype. Before 1806 his birthplace, the town of Neustadt an der Aisch, was governed from Berlin as part of the Hohenzollern dominions. In the 18th century members of the Scherzer family held the office of town wait at Erlangen and Ansbach. Johann Christoph Scherzer (1776-1832), from Ansbach, was a trumpeter with the Prussian garrison at Neustadt before becoming the town wait and "türmer" (tower watchman) there in 1807. (The latter post was better paid by far, perhaps because the town wait would be remunerated for the individual engagements of his band. In the local paper he advertised "musical evening entertainments" at public houses. Also I would be surprised if he actually kept the nightly fire watch himself. Presumably he had staff for that too. I suspect that in both capacities he may have been a kind of licensed entrepreneur.) According to the entry in the parish ledger, the godfathers for the fourth child from Johann Christoph's third marriage, born in 1815, were both from Ansbach: the municipal director of music, whom the ledger calls Philipp Adolph Scherzer, and Jacob, third son of the Ansbach town wait (the original entry is quoted in the German version). The first-named of the two, an elder brother (1775-1828) of Johann Christoph, was in charge of the music at both of the Lutheran town parish churches at Ansbach. His position was distinct from that of the "town organist" at Ansbach, listed separately in an 1820 address book for the area. In the address book the stadtkantor (municipal director of music) appears as Adolph Philipp, which seems to be the correct form: in the Neustadt ledger entry his first names are given in the wrong order. Adolph Philipp's son Otto Scherzer (1821-86) -- a cousin, thus, of the child to be baptised at Neustadt -- was to succeed Johann Georg Herzog ( kzbin.info/aero/PLJQG183QhFpC1qxaPnA83bWiMcOY5YL1z ) as organist and choirmaster of the Lutheran parish church in Munich and professor at the conservatory there in 1854, before becoming director of music of Tübingen University (where he succeeded Friedrich Silcher) in 1860. Otto Scherzer left organ works, of which one or more might some day find their way onto this channel ( is.gd/fP6S09 ; I prophylactically bought them). Other relatives of the babe-in-arms at Neustadt would also gain renown as musicians, though it was in the field of light music. The second godfather, likewise a brother of Johann Christoph, must be the Johann Jacob Scherzer that the aforementioned address book of 1820 lists as the municipal tower watchman at Ansbach. No doubt that meant he was also the town wait, just like Johann Christoph at Neustadt and like Abraham Georg Peter Scherzer, the father of Johann Christoph, Adolph Philipp and Johann Jacob. He, the grandfather, is the town wait at Ansbach to whom the ledger entry refers without giving his first names; he died in 1819. As his two elder sons were already provided for -- Adolph Philipp as Ansbach's director of music, Johann Christoph as town wait in Neustadt -- Johann Jacob, being, as the ledger tells us, the "third son", inherited his father's position in Ansbach. As was the custom at that time the newborn child was given the names of the godfathers (in the ledger entry: Jacob Philipp Adolph; throughout his life Adolph Scherzer stuck to the spelling with ph). Already in 1810 the whole area had become part of the Kingdom of Bavaria. It was, thus, in the Bavarian military that young Adolph was to make his career -- true to the family tradition, as a musician. a_osiander(at)gmx.net . andreas-osiander.net . facebook.com/andreas.osiander

I find Simon's music good-humoured, tuneful & well structured. You are a good advocate for it. Thanks very much!

Musical compositions full of faith & dignity. Very well put across to the modern audience! Many thanks.

Thank you for this well-played fugue - the registration seems very well chosen to highlight the dramatic intensity. 😊

Beautifully executed ornamentation. A very musical performance, if I may be permitted to say so. Peter A :) :) :)

Un piccolo gioiello questa fuga , molto bella .

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Splendid, Andreas! Thanks for showing the score. Looks fun.

Sehr interessant welche Geschichte hinter diesem Marsch steckt. Ich kenne ihn aus meiner Zeit als Blasmusiker, wusste aber nicht den Hintergrund. Vielen Dank!
