Timbro vocale organo magnifico per queste musiche. Bravo organista ottimo esecuzione.

[@PointyTailofSatan]

Such a simple and yet awkward melody, but Bach somehow turns it into musical gold.

[@herrickinman9303]

It's a chorale tune, and there's nothing awkward about it. It only seems awkward because of the slow tempo and the dissonant harmonies. Listen to Bach's choral harmonization of the same tune, BWV 305. There are many examples on KZbin. Here's one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rabYaWegbNmloZY

What is amazing is that Bach was known to hate composing at the keyboard. He would literally work out an entire piece in his head, and/or on paper, and write it down almost complete. If this piece was done in this way, it means Bach heard these harmonies in his head. Incredible.

[@herrickinman9303]

Perhaps you're not aware that the typical university undergraduate music major curriculum requires the student to pass ear training in harmony and identify chords upon hearing them. I don't know why you find it so remarkable that a composer worth his salt would not need a keyboard to compose on. Generations of composers before Bach were writing complex contrapuntal vocal compositions in 5, 6 or more parts without a keyboard crutch. As for whether Bach hated composing at the keyboard, many of his keyboard compositions sound improvisational and may have resulted from reworkings of pieces he had improvised. A famous example comes to mind: the 3-part ricercar from the Musical Offering is very likely a worked out version of the 3-part fugue the composer had famously improvised at the Prussian king's Potsdam residence on a theme provided by the king. Question: How does _literally_ alter the meaning of your sentence?

[@bzeliotis]

@@herrickinman9303 You sound like a really clever idiot. Literally!

[@PrimaSiPensaDopoSiFa]

@@bzeliotis To me the op sounds more like someone that is hunting for free upvotes on youtube... ...i know nothing about music but i can imagine that with music theory and after some year of struggling everyone can compose simple stuff without the need of playing all the notes but by simply picturing accords in his brain. The stuff that Herrick Inman is saying is easy to understand, he is not being an elitist he is just bored by the youtube comments from people without any knowledge which are putting their face into technical stuff indirectly insulting all the ones that truly studied musical the theory, composition, etc. I can appreciate a piece even without filling my mouth with words i don't understand the meaning...

[@wannabecat369]

@@herrickinman9303It may well be said that any reasonably proficient music scholar may write down a harmonized melody directly onto paper. It is, on the other hand, not an easy task to write out such a beautiful, balanced and (comparatively) complex piece of music from just conceptualizing it out of thin air. It is easy to suppose that due to his busy schedule Bach probably was UNABLE to painstakingly edit his compositions, so he MUST have prepared them in relatively complete form IN HIS HEAD before he wrote them down. Maybe you can write music, but can you compose and edit polyphony in your head for half an hour without getting lost? Can you improvise a three-voice fugue on a random theme and make it sound beautiful? If you can, you are a consummate musician who should know better than to so jadely criticise an imprecise but reasonable and respectful comment on a KZbin video of a masterpiece.

Matthew Fisher formerly of Procol Harum(also known for A Whiter Shade of Pale) on his album "A Salty Dog Returns" performs this song using what sounds like a Hammond organ of some sort,synthesizers that sounds like an entire orchestra and drums. He changes one chord that makes it sound a little more menacing. I love it. I wished he would he would have explored this type of music on the rest of that album.

Really pleasant is sound of this virtual organs and choral prelude is so nicely played ... and I am proud that my countryman is performer :) Bach wrote this so beautifully that I just had to find musical score... if you care, result is on my channel where I played this choral prelude on digital piano using organ sound. Of course on digital piano you can not play with feet like on organ so this complicates thinks ... I was really happy when found that this choral prelude can be played on piano. Maybe Bach used harpsicord when composing and that might be reason ...
