This Bach pedal solo never gets old

[@francois7]

Who could have thought that KZbin Shorts would force organists to play that fast to finish their pieces ?

[@ds1868]

That's about the right tempo.

[@stevewooly]

@@ds1868 No, it's not

[@keplergso8369]

@@ds1868 Cause of the real sound reverberation of a church, this tempo is too fast. It is here more an exhibition, possible on electric keyboards, and with a radial pedal, than a realistic tempo on a mechanical organ. Same problem with Virgil Fox, high tempi are anachronistic, at the baroque time, tempi were not so fast.

[@charlesperry4924]

Absolutely beautifully played. The dexterity involved is simply mind boggling. Congrats and best wishes for many years ahead of you.

Don't be too impressed as it is not particularly difficult..quite easy in fact.

damn i didnt know that dex build users can play an instrument that prob took 20 years to practice. Darn it i put all my points to vigor and strength, shouldve known better.

[@QtheLaserDude]

Ignore what the guy above said. The organ, especially with foot pedals, is an INCREDIBLY difficult instrument to learn, let alpne master like what you see in the video. The guy has probably never touched anything other than a keyboard in their life.

[@paulwatson832]

I cannot think of any better way than to use the pedal solo of Johann Sebastian Bach to finish off what he's playing!! Absolutely wonderful!!!

[@felixhell.organist]

Thank you 🙏

Hi Felix ​@@felixhell.organist what's the name of that piece?

[@BernardGreenberg]

Prelude and Fugue in D Major BWV 532

[@bonobo2go]

Some years back I heard this at a recital in Leeds Town Hall played by one of the most known and well respected of UK organists. He finished, got off the bench, approached the microphone and announced that he wasn't happy with the final run on the pedals and he would like to play it again. Back to the organ....and he played this final piece again. To my ears it was just as fabulous as the first time. Anyone who can play hands and feet together like this is just amazing. 😊

[@SirReginaldBlomfield1234]

If you was an organist you'd realise it's not amazing at all... There's nothing actually of any difficulty.

[@nicky592]

​@@SirReginaldBlomfield1234 even if it was unimpressive for any organist, raining on someones enjoyment of it isn't very impressive either.

[@spicysalad3013]

@@SirReginaldBlomfield1234 my mom is an organist and raised me to realistically respect music...and let me tell you, organ playing is hard, period. like objectively speaking, it's way harder than the vast majority of instruments in the world, and I say this as a cello player myself, probably one of the more difficult instruments itself. "nothing of any difficulty" is an asinine take and just plain wrong.

[@hessu3]

I am a professional organ player and I would not say, that church organ is harder than other instruments - but the difficult is on another kind as to coordinate hand and feet. But most people can get used to it by practicing... To me, I have the highest respect for all string players, who can influence the pitch in so small micro intervals, and who can create a sound of swelling, going back, and create so many tones on just four strings... that seems really impressing to me 😮

[@erik6506]

​I have mild experience on pipe organ but primarily utilize analog electric. From my experience from my pipe organ playing. Having to play music to delayed sound was one of the most difficult challenges I've encountered aside from having to rearrange sheet music to your main organ. I don't get how someone can play an instrument yet everything they hear is some odd milliseconds after what their fingers are playing. It's like you have to learn to play deaf from my experience. Also learning to add your feet isn't that big of a deal once you're proficient at keyboard. You already know how to do bimanual playing so you just transfer the skill to bipedal playing.

[@pauljames5914]

I've been playing organ most of my life and I can't get anywhere near this level. People like him are super human!!

[@flamlingo3566]

Absolutely amazing. Don't play but wish I did. Talk about putting whole self into it this guy literally does; incomprehensible eye hand coordination to say the least. Love pipe organ.✝️❤️

[@ROMCat1952]

Ending of the fugue from Bach's BWV532 Prelude and Fugue in D Major -- and, yes, it never does get old . I don't play the organ myself, but I did key the fugue into a MIDI editor and let the sequencer play it :)

I’d take midi over nothing 😊

[@maj-lenaskagerlund3118]

Being a former organist myself I'm ashamed to confess I never learned to play this 😑. But on the other hand Bach composed so much great and beautiful music for organ that there is no problem to find enough for a lifetime... A fantastic combination of great music with wonderful harmonies and an exeptionell organplayer!

My first thought: "Show Off" then: I'm jealous. You have a gift young fellow, thanks for showing how Bach would do it.

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

PatrickManganelli, I am sorry for my inadequate English. There is nothing wrong with «show off». The young Bach did exactly the same, he played fast only to impress the listeners. If this pedalsolo was ment as music, he would played the solo with his fingers, much more easy to play. But he choose the most difficult way - with his feet instead, only for «showing off».
