Karg-Elert - Passacaglia and Fugue on B-A-C-H - opus 150

[@14reger]

The legend says that Karg-Elert made an incredible mess when performing this piece. Can you confirm this?

[@OrganistDanielBruun]

He played the piece in 1932 on his tour in the United States. At that time he was ill with diabetes and had many problems playing the big and complex american instruments. The tour was a failure and he got a lot of bad reviews from critics. Getting increasingly ill and depressed, he died the following year, 55 years old.
